Obviously Stratos based but who made it? Was it successful?

Hi Guy,

I don't know anything about this one other than I've got these pics, one of which is labelled Donington '94.

I know Hugh Carson sold a set of bodywork to some one who was building a silhouette racer but that became a car that ran at Castle Coombe I think & was fitted with a bike engine & had frenched in rear wheel arches. Definitely not this one though. The first pic could be an early incarnation of the car?
Have you contacted the seller for more info?
The only other hybrid I know of is the Pulse GT1 which has appeared at a few shows recently which also shares a Stratos roof & windscreen.

Found this one aswell which is labelled Silverstone '89 so getting close to being pre replica days?

It's all coming back to me, but only after reading this old SuperSite Forum thread.
The car was actually stolen:
See here.
I won't comment any further!

Seller says he has no history or moulds for the shell...

Does anyone know and can contact Gordon Churchill "Gordo" from the old thread? I'm sure he'd be interested in this.

**Guy Mayers** · 26-05-2012, 14:00

I've sent him an email through the old website just in case!

Probably best not to tip off the seller just in case there is anything untoward folks! Hopefully it's all above board and won't turn around and bite the buyer.
