Good Luck With That.

Well, certainly not THAT different.

I'm sure there's a buyer for it tho.

I wouldn't disagree with that Jim. I'm all for uilding cars which look exactly like the original, or as close as you can go given the scarcity of 'original' parts.
Looks like you're right about a buyer too. At least ebay says its no longer available this morning.

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.

Depends how quickly you do the 4 miles!

One thing I found confusing that it listed the Make as "Retropower" when the chassis and body were originally LB ?

[Guy Mayers]

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.
