How weird is that?? I just spent the last 24hrs looking for one of these:

And, no. Anything combing Lancia and Martini is worth liking.

Not at all, although a Stratos does rank above it in the most desirable stakes

Given how almost everyone I know loves the Stratos it seems like a massively missed opportunity that no car manufacturer has released anything similar in recent years. It's just one of those cars that looks fast even when it's standing still...

Not a massive fan of lookie likies. The genuine group B road goers such as the 037are pretty rare although a few 205 t16s have been up for sale last year. The 206 T16 was the prettiest of the group B cars IMHO.

There were a couple of kit car versions of the stratos being made, not sure if either are still on the go. I vaguely recall someone did a concept car that was allegedly a modern take on the stratos a year or so back.

Steve Perez wheels his genuine Stratos out for historic rallies a couple of times a year, it was in a local prep company a good while ago when I was in for a visit.

Nostalgia isn't what it used to be..........

Ray.
