Moderately bad......... though whatever floats your boat I guess! The (totally non) fit of the door frame tops probably explains the fact that the seats have become ecosystems - probably up close they're inhabited by tall blue people with mind-connected plaits. :whistling: Nice SD1 rear lights.....

if you look at some pics of them on google, they look quite cool in orange and black, granted this ones a bit of a stinker, but guess thats why its cheap, although i cant see anyone jumping at it!

The warp factor jet drive has had considerable effect on the doors :rofl:

Ive seen and had worse :cry: I dont think the door is warped I think it has been pulled from the top, maybe thats why the glass is broke?

Wow - a UK registered Jet. By this time they had lost most of the Lamborghini Marzal features of the original Custoka Strato. Albar were a Belgian outfit (I think) that also did the crazy looking Sonic and made buggies as well. I believe they were (very) briefly marketed in the UK by 162 Engineering, but how many were sold here is anybodies guess...

They can look quite good when finished - this is an early version of the Strato, together with the Custoka Hurrycane, a version of the Fiberfab Avenger/Valkyrie sold in the US.

Like all kit cars produced more than 30 years ago, it looks a bit down-at-heel, but would certainly be pretty unusual!

Hi

Yeah the car looks pretty cool at the front in those pics lauren, is this the same model? the lights/front looks different?

Cheers

There were some minor styling tweaks between the Strato and the Jet. I haven't figured out what they all were - I think the nose may have been one of those changes. I must admit I prefer the Espada-esque nose treatment of the Strato.
