Default Lancia Stratos.

Spotted in Wakefield over the weekend, it was roofless in yellow.

What a head turner. I remember a kit by Transformer being sold
in the eighties often advertised in CCC. Not sure if it could take
a Honda V6.

Hawk do a well regarded replica kit, usual power source is an Alfa V6.

Not cheap though.

That's the problem with the term "replicas"; some are genuine facsimilies and are very good; others merely a Ferrari-alike body on a Datsun.

Actually not a bad donor car for the look, and it's got "lots of room in the trunk".

Wonder why Ferrari can't do that?

Oh yeah, 'cos that's where the engine should go

Maybe the replicas were, this one definitly was. I bet 99% of the public that day
didn't know what it was. (or meant to be).

I told you the 360 was too big for a mid-engined Ferrari!

Actually, I like the 406 shape. I wonder if it would look better on a 360 chassis?
