Looks as though trying to be a slight homage to the original original. Paint colour and louvers??
I think I may nip down and show them how it should have looked, only 4 miles down the road, but the engine wouldn’t be warm by then.
"Why make it easy when you can struggle"
One thing I found confusing that it listed the Make as "Retropower" when the chassis and body were originally LB ?
Listing is back up - sale must have fallen through..

This time, still erroneously, described as Manufacturer - Lancia. I wonder what the log book says?

While I was watching the slightly protracted build on the 'youtube' televisual machine, I oft' wondered how long it would take/cost to put back to sensible/tasteful LB spec...
Hopefully we may find out!
Decent car under the 'add on's'![]()
What a strange turn of circumstances. I've been following the build/conversation of this obviously LB car for about 3 years and it was only delivered to the customer a couple of months ago. It must be heartbreaking for the team at Retropower as they've put a huge amount of effort into making it to the customer's spec!! You're correct Robin it is intended to be a flavour of the Zero. For me they've ruined a perfectly good LB by sticking big air intakes and intercooler grills either side due to the addition of a supercharger which caused significant overheating problems. I think they may struggle to sell it given that it's looks are so far away from a Strat replica and at that price which I suspect reflects the hefty RP bill.

RP must of got something wrong, because my supercharged Stratos has never overheated.![]()
