I wonder what TG will make of it, funnily enough I met Michael Strosek, the owner of the new Strato's at Race Retro last weekend. I didn't realise it was him at first, he was on the Club Lancia Sport stand and trying to take photos of my dashboard through the side windows, it was when I offered to open the door for him so he could take better photos he introduced himself.
Very nice chap and we chatted for quite a while, he asked all sorts of questions about my car, I told him it was fitted with a 24v motor and asked me how much I'd paid, I said the donor engine was about £2000, he seemed a bit confused and explained that 24v motors are usually worth £80,000. I got the feeling he thought mine was genuine so I told him it was fitted with an Alfa engine but it was plain to see as the rear clam was off at the time.
I congratulated him on the new Strato's and thought, like many, that it was a shame it never got the go ahead from Ferrari.
Vince.
