Too much of a Garage Queen for me. I prefer things that look like they've been used and abused a bit more so..... I'm out!
There's a genuine Stratos up for auction by Sotheby's California. Been used for road/circuit racing for most of it's life so assume it will have its competition rating (not sure if that would be valid in UK ).... should anyone have a spare ?0.5m .

So go on then Jim, tell me about your Wendy.....

Really interesting history with this car...... big question......... Nut and Bolt Renovation or preserve in original condition with just a good clean (maybe not even clean) ?
I agree with you Chris. Assuming it doesn't look like an absolute shed preserving the patina should be preferable however if the buyer thinks a restoration would make a better investment it must be tempting. Alternatively it would be great to see it back in action which would undoubtedly require some 'upgrades' to meet current requirements.
FWIW I would do the latter..... just a clean !...... Patina is all too often overlooked IMHO.
Although I have just done a nut and bolt job on a Fiat.... it had no "history" at all and there are plenty around ....
