    That last one is the one that sold at Bonhams recently, isn't it? (long time LMC member)
    If so, it's mainly white, with a few green bits.
    I won't count the non white green red cars.
    I've counted that Corse in Japan, because that's definitely the CAE Corse I that I was thinking of.
    So 19 up to now?

    No other colour scheme comes any where near in numbers?
    I can only think of 4 in works (1978) Pirelli colours and 3 in (1975) early Alitalia.

    I can only think of 4 Pirelli, 3 Hawks & 1 Corse
    I can think of 7 Alitalia early's (although 1 has been resprayed now) 2 Hawks, 3 LB's & 2 Corse (1 in CZ & 1 in JPN).
    I can think of 6 or is it 7 Marlboro as well, 1 LB, 1 Allora (Germany), 1 Corse "S" (Mark M), 1 Hawk Gp4 (Iain G), 1 Hawk Giro (Gerry) and the Napiersport Evo if that's allowed.

    How many Chequered Flag's 3? 2 x Hawk & 1 x Litton.

    Well if I'd been thinking of going the Alitalia route, that collage would be enough to make me reconsider, iconic though it is.
    I particularly like the number "22" on the side window in that first pic of Craig's, that's been applied to be horizontal with the window dropped...says it all about inside temps in a Stratos!

    How many are actually still in the in the UK though? And how many actually appear at the few events where we see more than three replicas is attendance?
    The odds on being parked next to two other cars with the same livery are fairly slim, and even then it will probably be from a different event so will have different stickers or a different body style?

    Ahem! Though point taken about most having gone abroad. I don't think there was one Alitalia car at Stoneleigh this year.

    I was thinking the one highlighted was Frederic's?

    Just one on Gerry's stand John.

    The only cars you're probably going to see on display are Paul Hassall's and Struan's.
    'Less likely to see Vince's, Ian Gear's and Nico's Alitalia cars?
    I think Chris Ellis' car has surfaced lately?
