Wanted: Original Stratos Stradale

[246Dino]

I am looking for an original Stratos, prefer a numbers matching Stradale, with documented History.

[Guy Mayers]

Welcome to the group, the vast majority of owners on this site have replicas which I guess is not what you're looking for! However, there may be one available that meets your specifications at the Gooding Auction, Amelia Island on March 3rd?

I saw that Chris.
It's one of the nicest examples of a Stradale that I've seen.
Having said that, the front over centre catch mount rubbers are wrong.

'Funny how a few cars are coming up for sale now. There hasn't been any for a long time. As if owners were scared of the market?

I came across this article on the same car in Road & Track, being driven with a very nice Renault 5 Turbo. Some great photos there too.

Yes Chris, It really does look like a nice example. With regard more coming on the market, I guess it maybe a coincidence or have we reached a ceiling on price!

Andy, yes that was the article I read and it mentioned they were both for sale, know which one I'd have if funds allowed

Hi... CJ.. do you know any history about this car ?... long shot, is this the car built by Roberto C ?
Cheers

Hi Phil, I'm sure CJ will know a lot more but looking at the blurb on the Cultivated Collector website it says the following:-

001519 would transfer ownership twice before being acquired by noted Ferrari expert and parts dealer Dennis McCann in 1992, who undertook an exhaustive, extensively researched nut and bolt restoration.

Mr. McCann would lovingly look after 001519 for ten years before selling the car to Alberto Cerruti, who under his 12 year ownership, would further improve the car by sourcing original carpet and seat material in Biella, Italy, bringing the interior to correct factory specification.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
Chris

Cheers Chris..
You can tell I just looked at the photo's !!!... LOL
I thought it looked similar to a car built by Roberto Cassetta but again I didn't search out photo's of his car, it was just easier to ask our resident Oracle !... it's frightening what he doesn't know.
