    Why wouldn't they post pictures of the actual car they're trying to sell? Great marketing methods!

    "Sonoma Classic Motorcars and our new world-wide brokerage Riviera MotorSports located in the Marina de Cascais Portugal is proud to present the matching numbers fully restored 1973 Lancia Stratos. The image posted in the advert is for representation purpose only. Images, supporting documents and complete race history will be provided upon request."

    Have you requested they supply the "I
    mages, supporting documents and complete race history will be provided upon request"

    Were " several prototypes " built with the Fulvia engine?
    I've read most of the books, a while ago admittedly, but I don't recall mention of anything other than the Zero?
    Surely they can't be getting mixed up with those replica thingies.....?

    That ad tells you precisely nothing about the car they wish to sell other than it's "fully restored" and "matching numbers". The rest of it's all about what a Stratos is and does and some stuff about its development, but sod-all detail on "their" car. And why you'd use shots of a different car in a rally rather than ones of their restored one is a puzzle.

    Still, if you fancy one and you've hot the money, give 'em a call....and let us all know what it's like!
