    Certainly looks a more credible ancestor of the Strato's than the zero does!

    'Presented in 1973 Chris.
    So post Stratos 1240 twin wiper by 2 years and post Zero by 3.
    But yes, the Zero looks more like the LP400's ancestor, than the production Stratos.

    Never seen the Trapeze before though Chris - looks really odd to me!

    That looks full-on UFO (the TV series)! Bertone certainly liked to recycle though didn’t they.

    The Trapeze has always reminded me a little of the AMC Gremlin, only a little, around the back and rear quarter window.

    Sat in a real one, may never wash again!

    I know the runabout Guy. I didn't realise it was designed in the 60s though.
    The X1/9 and Stratos design cues are all there.
    There's your ancestor, Chris R.?
