Car for sale in Italy

Interior makes a little more sense with the original colour scheme.....- Not really my taste but each to his own. Is there something off with the drivers side front wheel arch?

Yes, shame it didn't get a retrim when it got a respray......
When you say drivers side do you mean these?

It looks as though the nose has been fitted incorrectly, it has been mounted too low at the front. Kevin has a similar issue with Simon's old car.
When you lift the nose at the front it opens up the gap at the front of the wheel and gives it a more concentic appearance in the arch.
Trying to flatten the nose in the middle helps as well.
This might not be as easy with the Favarin bodies as it was with the D Gornall generation bodies though.
The rear arch extension leaves a little to be desired as well....

Hopefully my panel gaps will be a bit better then this ��

At least yours is more of a blank canvas and you can learn by the mistakes of those that gave gone before!
Not great pics nut hopefully you can see the difference-

And follow the path of greater wisdom by treating it to an LB shell. - Or an LB roof spoiler at the very least.



The cool kids also went for the ducted bonnet

Drivers side - LHD - This one shows it.



But can also be picked up in other shots.

Does also look like it has a lead filled lamp pod....

Are you thinking the arch looks to bulge out too wide relative to the top body line?
If so it might be a function of a fault on the Allora/Corse body-
The line between the door shut and the arch angles in rather than following though & this could make the arch look wider on the angle of your pic.
Another car here which shows the top body line better-

If you want wide arch there is this one which has had the arches extended to cover the Hawk wheels it has fitted....
Wide track suspension and zero offset wheels don't quite fit under the standard arches.

The profile of the passenger side front arch is what I would call normal - flatish - The driver side looks to be sloping down - It may that its slightly wider as well but camera angles make that a hard call.

Oh wow - that one with the wider arches ! And just how many in Alitalia ! -

[JJ990]

I see what you mean, but I think there may be a bit of an optical illusion here, caused by the Strato's lettering which slopes so dramatically. Tricks the brain into thinking the drivers side slopes down more than it really does while the passenger side looks flatter than it is.

I was wondering if it wasn't a trick of the eye too, brought about by the lettering.
Although the chassis for that car was a bit (lot) of an improvement over what was coming out of Skipton before, the body panels were appalling.
The moulds thet were produced from were pretty flexible, but the lay up of the panels was so thick you couldn't manipulate them if you tried. Plus they were that full of resin over glass that they seemed brittle.
The rear arches were indeed a disaster as, again in Lionels wisdom, had been grafted on to the rear clam without reference to anything.
