I've gut my lottery ticket...

There's next week?

It used to be a UK registered car, and belonged to Alex Moore (AUC 976T). There was an article on the car in Motor Sport magazine April 1985, which is the last article included in the Brooklands book. The car was lime green with red wheels.
The dash instruments are arranged in a non standard way.

That was the car that first started my love affair with the Strato's, I first saw it for sale in a small showroom near Reading, shame to see its been converted to a non-specific Alitalia car. If I could afford to buy it I return it back to lime green with red wheels. The car is easily 150k Euros over priced though, the engine is probably worth around 80/100k Euros alone but then you're left with a very expensive Stradale with no engine.

That's what I thought Vince. It should have stayed as it was.
Anyhow, the car in Shakey's picture is the very one.
I like to see single colour cars with the rear spoiler colour coded, but not the wing and louvres. Here's Dave H's Hawk with its mag wheels:
Did the ex Alex Moore car inspire the change from red to green, with red coffin spokes?

It certainly did Chris, with a little persuasion from me over the years. Just last weekend we had a very pleasant time working on David's car upgrading it with a few parts sourced from Roberto on a recent trip to Italy.

You can see a short video of David's car when he left my place here:

Brilliant!
I love all the detailing on it. The original seats, mag wheels and other parts. Not forgetting the patinated gear stick knob!

[Monte76]

It should look even better in a few weeks when the rest of the original parts from Roberto are fitted. I'm sure David will post an update thread when it's finished.

It's the gearknob that makes it Chris ! I recently got a brand new one on Ebay, and it looks terrible , changed straight back to your old one !

Got the original Stradale steering wheel on now, with the help of Vince who re-machined and drilled the new boss i got from Omicron last week

Will post photos when all the bits are fitted.

Love the colour combo. Italian economic conditions seem to forcing a lot of good cars onto the market. Definitely a good time to win the lottery.

'Just seen these old photos of the Alex Moore car on eBay:
Green Stradale

The black and white photos must have been taken before the car was fitted with the round arches, (red) magnesium coffin spoke wheels, and the 24v Dino engine.
It does already have a group 4 type air box on the IDFs though.
