Hello from Yorkshire!

Hello all
I have just joined to enthusiasts club with a view to Statos ownership in the future.

I race a historic single seater in hillclimbs and sprints which is fantastic but most of the time it sits in the garage due to it being a race only vehicle.
The idea of having something that I can use on the road and for some motorsport, and something that has some soul, has lead me back to the Stratos, again.

I'd like to be able to make contact with a couple of owners who have a Hawk and a LB for a chat and ideally a visit (once we have this lockdown out of the way). I'm based in Yorkshire so anyone toward the north would be great.

Many thanks
Richard Grant

Welcome Richard.
Sounds like a good philosophy for having a Stratos.

Richard, welcome to the Club. There are owners of both examples in your neck of the woods, and I'm sure they will make themselves known to you shortly.

Hi Richard, Craig isn't that far from you so if you can make contact I'm sure he'd show you around once lockdown is done? Just be aware that his order book is closed (full) at the moment. I know Gerry is long way South but it's worth the drive to chat to him. He's taking orders but it's a long waiting list (15-18 months?). However long you have to wait it'll be worth it for either kit and it gives you a chance to research engine options, find a donor, use it so you know it's sound and source the other parts you'll need for either build.
If you don't fancy the trip to Gerry's then you're more than welcome to pop over to Liverpool. I've got a completed (30 years now) Hawk on the road and another part built kit on the ramp. It's all a little tight though!
Cheers
Guy
