I do not know if any are aware of this I wasn't until a visit to a semi private collection on a recent tour I did in my TR7.
One of the Hotels we stayed at.
I have been aware of Franco Sbarro for many a year,since playing Top Trumps as a kid at School and being impressed by the car Sbarro Stash.
Thrilled is not the word when I read in the itinerary of this tour that we would visit a collection of Sbarro cars,I actually believe the Chateau is that of Franco Sbarro but could not get this confirmed.
Anyhow looking around I came across this.
A twin Lancia Engined beast apparently developed with Lancia's blessing as a possible Stratos replacement.......................

Sbarro Diva is my favourite.
Busso powered.

It's the red car on this SEC forum thread, if you don't know it:
Sbarro Diva
Yes I know it,as I say beautiful bit SC4/8 and a bit conventional for Sbarro.
I know you know it, I meant anyone else reading this.
It's very Stratos like, with the opening clams, the short wheelbase and the two big round tail lamps. Maybe a replica Diva body would fit onto an LB STR chassis.
Certainly better looking than any of the 'new' Stratos?
The bit that baffled me was the 2 x 5 cylinder Busso engines to make a V10. Why not a V12?
