    It was in his possession for quite a while, I do not know if he has sold it but it appeared on the Lancia Stratos page on Facebook recently with someone elses name on the door.

    There a few other pictures on the post from September 13th, it appears to have the Tour de Corse Historique event sticker on the door.

    Re: Stratos Replica for Sale

    If I understand the 254 car is an Hawk ???
    How could he have entered her on the tour de corse historic ? or It was just for fun with fake door sticker ?
    To my knowledge kit cars are not allowed in France for racing in Historic races ( No Fia HTP papers .... ) or .... am missing something ????

    I don't like the wording of the advert for the ListerBell car.
    Smacks of deception to me.
    Am I being too harsh?

    Re: Stratos Replica for Sale

    Yes John ...I agree with you ;
    This seller seems to introduce some confusion about the use of the car beside the fact he write that is a"modern car" and drives much more easy and comfortable than the old GRIV he argue tha it can be used on Rallye giving the name of an French historic rallye ( on test ??????) and we all know that it's impossible .... so may be big confusion for readers that want to know where they can use that sort of
    cars ( say modern replica's) Specially in France where the first question any onethere is asking ; can you race her ? can you homologate her ? etc etc

    I have little sympathy for any speculators who may be drawn in by misinformation.
    A proper enthusiast, would know what he/she was looking at.

    The sooner people stop seeing old cars purely as investments, the better.

    Re: Stratos Replica for Sale

    The ex Gosling car owner is surely the auctionner of this sale in Allianz Riviera arena
    he live in Toulouse and I met him during a previous sale in his Castle
    He is a old sport car collector ...but maybe also a speculator !
    not very clear and a bit confusion with informations about cars for sale!

    Re: Stratos Replica for Sale

    I can't agree with you exactly there Chris. For sure the old "buyer beware", "caveat emptor" should always apply through common sense when parting with your hard earned.
    But when a seller deliberately, or even innocently, misleads by his representation of what is for sale I have to come down squarely against that.
    Quite definitely my current viewpoint on this is tinted from more that three and a half years now of trying to sort out a mess caused by just that kind of misrepresentation....
    It has been said to me recently that something is worth "whatever the buyer is prepared to pay". Yes. But when the buyer thinks he is buying something because he's seen it described as something , then when it actually turns out to BE something ELSE then he's been conned. No excuses. Especially when the seller damn well should know it was something else in the first place!
