Thank you John!Originally Posted by john
A long project to go!
As some fellow members know this project is to build a replica of the original car winner of the Tour de France 1975 (the same one won Tour de Corse and others rallies in this period) after some thoughts and interesting discussions with Bernard Darniche (the original car is owned in Japan since a long time with Tour de corse livery and normal front spoiler)
Tom R has a great Allora of this Red Chardonnet Stratos but a TDF replica was never built at my knowledge!
It’s not a Le Mans Str long wheel base but a normal car with both front ends for Tarmac and rally stages!!

Great project Frederic - good luck with it ! Hope it doesnt take too long !
Thanks a lot Peter!
Hope so It doesn’t take too long but patience is needed as for many others builds experienced here… the longer the better!
Gerry (Hawk Cars) has a Giro de Italia replica
yes it’s a great looking car I have seen few years ago in his workshop!
It’s a long time I didn’t post about this project!
The build is coming nicely with a few progress despite all difficulties experienced since latest years!!

Due to a lot of troubles my LB build is coming for sale
The minus car job is almost finished and still in LB workshop!
The car could be sold with a full restored 3.2 GTA engine and gearbox with a set of Magnesium original coffin spoke from Marvic…
It’s for sale with no benefit at the price of parts kit and job…
If anyone is interested and would avoid a long wait for a nice LB group 4 with high spec and two front bonnets (for roads and tarmac) let me know with PM or contact LB!

I have had a look down the back of the sofa, and the GBP 3.40 I found, together with any likely funds generated by the sale of the GP4 Melon are, I think, unlikely to meet the required amount.
Oh well, back to painting ball joints ....
Hi Frederic - sorry to see you are selling (but understand !) I know from my own recent experience that there are a lot of interested parties out there - particularly for a LHD .
Thanks a lot Peter!
It’s a long project started more 5 years ago before Brexit Covid and others bad times but it’s causing plenty difficulties and disappointment
The car couldn’t obtain registration in France as a LB STR at last and now there is a lot of extra charges and taxes for exportation
A shame and a sad end!!
Hope the car could stay in UK and will enjoy a new british owner!
