Shhhhh.........don't show this to anyonenono






This is similar to what mine will look like (bearing in mind that mine's a stradale) but without the light pod, wording and with white alloys. smile
I hope you'll have the ride height sorted a bit better than that Gp 4 one!

Guy Moerenhout built it yes. But it's a Corse. He's the European agent for them. On his site you can see the complete painting cycle plus a bit of the build.

It's been a great help for the bodyshop up in Beverley. They can see the basic layout clearly. Although as mine is a Hawk there are differences especially the white 'border' where the windscreen meets the bonnet.

Hello Chris(W)

The Pirelli car in Kelso is a Corse (Corse I?)

The Pirelli car in your photo is an original, although I nearly mistook it for a UK based SEC club member's similar looking Hawk.

There are three Pirelli coloured replicas in the UK (two Hawks and one Corse).
Thanks.

I just grabbed the pic off the web.

Do you know whose car it is? Admired it several times

Hello again Chris,

This was discussed here on the Stratos forum:
http://www.stratossupersite.com/forum/showthread.p...

The attention to detail is obvious enough in the photo from the NapierSport website.
I've never seen the car in the flesh.

The Stratos is one of the few cars in the world I genuinly lust after, and one day I will have one, oh yes I will. I had a ride in "Rutter The Nuters" Stratos this year around Zolder, and it just makes me want one more! Trouble is, on the few occasions I had a enough of a wad burning a hole in my pocket to buy one, there are never any for sale. It is one of the few Kit-cars I would sell my R1 Phoenix for, thats for sure.

You all go off and enjoy your Stratos's, you B*******.

It belongs to a bloke near Coldstream, I'm not publishing his details here, but I could put you in touch. Mine is in St.Boswells.

Which hotel in Kelso do you manage Chris? (See, you've got the right name to have a Stratos!)

Im one of the managers at the Roxburghe.

Its been a couple of years since the Westfield was built, and the bug is starting to return. Are they difficult to build?

Harder than a Westfield, but achievable. You need to visit supersite forum - loads of useful info and help available there.

I too had a little blast around Zolder and I too will have one one day! It made my Liba look like a shopping cart around there.

This is an extremely well sorted example, one of the very best around. It's a flippin' bargain too.

So is £13500 tempting then?
