    Exclamation 'Stratos Bob' for Sale

    SOLD - SUBJECT TO BALANCE BEING PAID

    It is with a heavy heart that I find that my beloved LB STR must go up for sale. Two daughters living in Australia and future visits to fund brings me to this sad place. Kids!
    It's been a blast building and driving him and I know I'm very fortunate in having this opportunity in my life.
    Advert placed this morning on Car and Classic with a genuine tear in my eye.......

    Cheers!

    Oh blimey Ade!
    I can well believe the tear in the eye.
    There was more to the wheel cleaning exercise than we thought.
    Good luck, I'm sure someone will think themselves very lucky to get hold of such a great example built with obvious love.

    If you need a fix, you are more than welcome to take mine out.
    Sorry to hear about your decision, you are probably right ... Having only been offered ?5 for both my children, I have decided for the time being to keep them, like you say, family bloody well first.
    Cheers Ade.

    Thanks Chris! It's a twin edged sword - relief and sadness....

    Phil you are not helping matters mate. Of course I'd love to keep my "forever" car, but reality was brought home strongly the day before the deposit was paid with this message from my youngest daughter in Australia, which is fantastic news for all of the family. I did ask her if it was triplets, but apparently not!

    BTW the new owner is a new Club member, but I'll leave it for him to introduce himself if he so wishes?

    Cest la vie

    I have lots of hidden talents. The problem is, even I can't find them!
