Useful books for the replica builder

[chris.richard]

1) Lancia Stratos Superprofile by Graham Robson

2) Lancia Stratos - World Championship Rally Car by Nigel Trow

These two are an invaluable source of photos.

3) Lancia Stratos 30 years later by Andrea Curami

I didn't find R.M.Clarke compendium of articles published by Brooklands very useful. Crap photo quality.

Any further suggestions?

Hi Paul, the Lancia Stratos 30 years later by Andrea Curami book was on ebay yesterday for about £30. I found it to be a good read and very informative.

[chris.richard]

There's a Graham Robson there at the moment too. The Trows go for £50/£60

The Profili Quattroroute 'LANCIA STRATOS' by Piero Casucci is a good one?

[Swamprat33]

I picked up my Trow for £20 last year from a specialist book shop in London.

There's one of those on ebay just now. 'Don't know what they're worth?

All I need now is to find a pile of cheap Guy Croft books. Trouble is that they really are ultra-rare and trully are 'kin expensive if you can find one.

Might be worth getting in touch with Which Kit magazine for the Guy Croft book.
I bought one off their stand at Stoneleigh a couple of years ago for £20. I told them it was a bargain but they did not seem to care. Who knows they may have more...
