Nlc - Lister Bell Stratos

[Reg]

What colour(s) is it going to be?

You've probably already said, but I'm not going back through eleven pages to find out!

[Dr H]

Steve - no idea what you mean....

 

Phil - I will be asking for help, I'm sure of that

 

Reg - dunno yet. But no a rally replica. Solid colour.

[Steve J]

White with Alitalia graphics would be the best

[KurtB]

Green with yellow coffin spokes, as per the LB demonstrator. BEAUTIFUL! Red interior trim.

Thats the colour combo of the one I used to see in the late 80s in Preston. Think it might have had gold wheels though. I guess Lotus got away with green and red interiors in some of the sport 160s.

I'd do grey (like my Defender) with satin black wheels. In over 20 years of going to kit car shows I can't ever remember seeing a grey Stratos.

So whatever you decide Leigh, it'll be wrong :lol

Lucky, lucky chap!  I have always promised myself that I would, one day, buy/ build a Chesil Speedster.

It doesn't matter, building a car for yourself means that you can do it exactly how you want, nobody else has a say! 

[Steve J]

I bet you'll be voting for some sort of purple colour then.

 

A bit like Vimto, perhaps

[Sundaydriver]

What's the timescale Leigh ? Best to fix a date now... Or it'll run on and on just possibly...

 

Really pleased for you. One day I will be picking your brains for help on mine I hope !

Time-scales something like:

 

Removal and rebuild of V6 engine  - by Feb 2016 maybe?

Collection of X1/9 parts and other bits - ongoning

Deliver of chassis - Sept 2016

Lots of swearing and head scratching until May 2017

Complete car on road by Aug 2017

 

But who knows!

Had to check what a Chesil Speedster was. Funnily enough I was in a meeting with a guy the other day who had an original 356 - imported form the States.

Remains my dream.
