Fix the shutlines, then we can talk price.

Merely eight posts above yours ChrisJ said:

The reason the panel gaps look bad is because the RH door isn't shut, and the front panel isn't fastened down. Well built replicas and well restored originals do tend to be better for panel fit.

So, about this price.............

If you've kept an eye on the prices for Integrales for the past few years you'd know that the last paragraph was utter nonsense.

The majority of Integrales currently on sale on the PH classifieds have all been up for sale for well over a year at hugely inflated prices by a handful of importers (with the exception of Walkers which are priced for quality).

Only particularly limited edition Evo2 models tend to sell for over £30k (typically Final Edition, Dealer Edition and Blue Lagos).

A good example private sale Evo2 would change hands for closer to £20k, not £45k.

Agreed. I have been looking at Evo prices for a couple of years now and I even found a mint 95 red Evo 2 for 18k.

The cars on PH are way too high. A DC went for 25k not so long ago but it's mileage was sky high...

I still want one badly but will suffer my HPE for now ...

A Land Rover has straighter shutlines!

Er........bothered?

Never said I was, get the stick out yer cornhole. I just found it funny.

That said it's an exotic Italian car so it's good it has little wonky foibles.

[JamesHayward]

That's not a bad price. A chap I know has a genuine Ex Works Stratos and he paid around that for it. It was recently valued at well over three times that by a leading Stratos Expert.

Bellissimo!

Be nice if they could at least make an effort with spell check if selling a £325 k car.

More detail please. What kit is it? What engine? How much power? Is it now sold?

Lovely..!!

[anything fast]

nice, but what about the 288 GTO lurking in the background, number plate B10GTO.. I would cut my arms off for one of those.

More fun had going to Hawk Cars and buying their kit and using an Alfa V6 or Lancia Ferrari V8 from a Thema saloon and have the fun of building it yourself. My Lancia MonteCarlo almost made me s**t my pants on the demo run from the dealer as it locked up on a bend and off we went into a field of cabbages, got out by slipping the clutch, and back in the showroom I said "Yep I'll have one". I disconnected the servo on delivery and the factory with the 2nd production run did the same

Mine did a Rally Course on the way to work every day, but the farmer up the lane said my beast was a better noise than his Massey Ferguson

Might be a daft question but if this is really "the very first Lancia Stratos produced" why is the chassis number 003?

Probably pre-prototype (if that makes sense) chassis mules that were scrapped with revisions for 003.

[jbforce10]

Having "the first" Stratos prototype would be nice but I'd much prefer to have a later (more sorted) stradale.... actually scrap that, give me an 037 stradale instead.

Looks awesome. I can only imagine how much attention it received on the road.

[ESOG]

What an amazing little car! In some ways it reminds me of a mini Vector W12.

I would absolutely love to have a 3 car garage with a Stratos, original Elan Sprint or Elite, and an Esprit of any year. ahhhh dreams...

Alfa V6 yes but it would be utter sacrilege to break an 8.32 for a kit car.

Probably loads from people confusing it with a TR7...
