Ok, so it's not a TR, but I think that most on the list, like me, are Stratos fans.

This is a one-off produced by Pininfarina for a rich customer based on a shortened F430 chassis.

This is the first new car I have genuinely lusted after...

Well Craig, I think you should have posted a 'CAR PORN WARNING' before letting us feast our eyes on that beauty. Drool [:p].
After picking my jaw up-off the desk and catching my breath, that car is stunning. Drool,drool [:p] [:p] [:D].

It is very nice. It looks like a cross between a Murcielago, an RX7 & (of course) a TR7. I suppose it really looks like an updated Stratos but the old one looked like a cross between an RX7 & a TR7. [;)]

Please ask Pininfarina to build another one & send it to my home address C.O.D. with special instructions: if the wife answers the door the deliveryman must pretend he is lost. [:)]

Yes, A thing of beauty.

Just as well I can't afford one, as I'd never be able to get into it. Still, it would be a pity to be in it, 'cos then you couldn't look at it.

Ooooh, that is seriously gorgeous [:p]

I saw a couple of genuine Stratos (or should the plural be Strati?[:)]) at Castle Coombe Rally Day last year, they still are wonderful to look at & even better to see on the track [:D]

Just opened the latest (Australian) Motor magazine and, lo and behold, there are photos of this beastie. They say there will be a limited edition of 25 made. Now where's that bank to rob...

Well, for starters, it needs to be raised about 2" to be able to clear the local speedbumps. Next, it needs to be painted Leyland White or Ford Wimbeldon White to give it that classic patina. Then, the door opening height needs to be raised. Despite years of cranking my head over to one side to prevent a headache in the Triumph, this one is too low.

Other than that, if it was priced for about $12,000US, I'd buy one.
