Transformer arrives in Colchester

[Lancialulu]

Sad day as Shades is now destined for France under new ownership and duties.

This should not mean another Strato’s project will turn up in Colchester sooner or later.....

'Glad to hear that Tim.
Did you get a lot of interest on Car and Classic?, and where do see secondhand Hawk prices these days?
Obviously without disclosing any actual selling prices.

C&C was quite until end Jan then went a bit mad. Most but not all interest from EU including far away places. I think my price was realistic for the quality of the car. This is always the subjective part of pricing especially when there are few on the market. I could have got more if I converted to LHD but not necessarily more than the cost of doing so. My philosophy is to always leave something for future purchasers (of anything).

Glad to see you've finally got shot of the old nail. Maybe get a decent one next time, eh?

I am, of course, kidding....I know you said you enjoyed driving the Hawk the most out of your fleet, so methinks another Stratos will be finding its way onto your drive at some point! Congrats on the sale, and good to see people willing to pay proper money for proper cars, meaning money spent on keeping them in good order will never be wasted.

I agree, it is a particularly nicely detailed example. I think its age has an appeal, because it's been well cared for.
