That looks very cheap and cheerful.....not! I bet that's an awesome car when it's done.

Oh God....

I thought I'd got over the Stratos want...

Apparently not. That's made of pure want. With want on top.

I saw his MK Indy his first kit car when he finished it, it was excellent.
When I saw him at the NEC Classic car show last November he was still waiting for the kit from Listerbell, so flying ahead at a great pace.

Wow! There's some considerable time and effort invested there. What gearbox is it Mike?

166 Engine and box.
Reckons 240 BHP.
Its got air con too!

This increases the WANT factor even more...

Is this the one that Clarkson ragged around a few years ago, I know it was a Stratos rep but not sure if it was a Listerbell. I remember some pretty ropey handling so I doubt it will be this one!!!!

Hawk used to do a Stratos kit not sure if they still do. A number of engine options Lancia & Alfa but the latter V6 3.0 / 3.2 is the engine of choice similar config and power to the original. They handle well when setup properly but you need to know what your doing but they are small, you have to be very friendly with any passengers and air con is a must as they get very warm.

Everytime I see one I get tempted.

Never heard of Listerbell but this build does look stunning
