    That looks different to how I remember seeing the cage above the rear bulkhead it used to have a full cage inside doubling up the original. Is it his second car being built ?

    That makes a lot is sense, I'm now betting it's a 2nd tub being prepared.

    I think you're right Rob. There should be more (additional inside) cage visible.

    If I rallied one of these original cars (ha!), I'd have a replica tub made, and save the original one.
    I'm sure a lot of that goes on in historic racing?

    3 Min Cute Knotted Hairstyle ?? Rob, I think you're advertising a hobby you may wish to keep quiet?

    If it's supposed to be a link to the in car Waldergard VK test, then I'm with you Rob.

    I didn't think my respect for Bjorn Waldergard could get any bigger, then I went to see him driving the Stratos on the Robin Hood rally ....
    Just amazing talent, and he doesn't seem to be slowing down much?
    He's the best Stratos driver ever, and probably the best rally driver ever.
