    Re: How Rare Ore The Cars In Your Fleet?

    My shiny red LB and my 67 Fulvia Rallye that I’ve had for a couple of years now. Imported from Italy to NZ with four others by a car dealer up north. Have just sold my Alfa 147 GTA as I needed a bit of cash, I also have my fathers 75 BMW R90s bike inthe garage now that my parents are ina retirement village. That’s the next project.

    Hi Paul, S1 Fulvia Coupes are the best looking, and from the works period. I love that most appropriate blue too.

    Thanks Chris, yes I love the colour. I started restoring one about 20 years ago that I had to sell before I'd finished, it was going to be the same blue. Really pleased to have an S1, pre FIAT and ex Italy. It's lovely.

    Venturi Atlantique - single turbo v6 - 1 of 2 in the UK I think
    Marcos Mantara 2.0 Turbo - they made 8 I believe, and made 157 Mantaras in total - most with Rover V8's
    Esprit HC NA - one of the final batch of 57 in that spec before the model change to the Stephens shape
    Defender 50th Anniversary - V8 auto (now 4.6l following rebuild).
    and the STR in Stradale form, of course

    I love that. Better than a Lotus 7 in my opinion. Wish I had the patience to build one.

    Spotted (stalked) a real Stratos today. Phil Kadoorie down here for the Silver Fern Rally. Had a chat to him and got a tour of the car. It even uses original Lister Bell parts.

    I saw that real Stratos landed in Christchurch on Facebook, Paul, wonderd what the story was! We left Christchurch this morning for Dunedin, back to Christchurch on 2nd Dec across Arthur's Pass.

    That’s a nice drive, and hopefully dry this time of year, can get VERY wet on the west coast. Get in contact when you’re back here if you get time.
