Lancia Stratos spotted in an Isuzu Garage!?!?

Was walking back from town earlier and spotted this little beauty all wrapped up in amongst a load of Isuzu trucks. The pics are from my phone and through a window so excuse the quality. Not sure if it's an original but from what i could make out it is an absolute minter. Gonna try and get back there when they re-open after the easter holidays and see if i can have a better look. First time i've ever seen one so i'm a happy (easter) bunny.

Lovely little beast

Looks new - so a bit sus on authentic classic or repo

Let us know when you can get to have a look and chat...


Chris

great spot chap
only ever seen a kit car.that was the nut's tho!

Looks like its on a V plate - must be a kit car!

Keep us posted

A few easy ways to tell.
Panel fit!
right hand drive?
four stud wheels?
four seperate ally louvres on the front end?
Reversing lights?
centre tunnel?
Internal door handles?

Could you get some contact details please? Or perhaps ask the owner to have a look in on the stratos forum or the Stratos enthusiasts club.

There's a chap that has a Yellow Stratos Replica (at least I think it;s a replica I don;t know enough about them to tell the difference) who goes to the Yorkshire Pistonheads meets, it's VERY nice.

Sounds like Bob Walker.

Last real Stratos I saw had Steve Perez in it, it shot past me sideways about three feet away with gorgeous howl!. Bjorn Waldegard had it for the recent Robin Hood Stages.

I could quite happily have a replica though, like these two taken at the Knockhill speed fair last year, one was acting as course car for the rally, it ran over my navigators foot!... he limped proudly all weekend

Both owned by the same chap.

Wow John - that looks like a serious toy for the sunshine!!
Please keep us posted

I was lucky to witness a parade of Stratos(es) teamed up with some Integrales - many with full rally livery - blast through the south downs close to Brighton a couple of years ago. Was a simply amazing sight/sound!!

I do love the Stratos.

That would have been the london to brighton run then.

There will be four replicas running on the stage at the chatsworth rally show this year, musn't forget Steve Perez's original too.

Was it the Stratos or the Delta, which you could choose which engine you wanted. One being an Alfa 3.0l
I think its the Delta

Stratos nice car though...

I thought the original Stratos had a Ferrari Dino engine in it - but please correct me if I'm wrong. I know the kit cars have the option usually of 2.0, 2.5 and 3.0 alfa engines though, something to do with supply I think!!

Correct, it had the Dino engine.
