Scottish Elises

Spotted these cars parked in Braemar this lunchtime.















So, which ones are original?

Steve.

Awesome - great spot

Wow, just wow. Seeing one Stratos would be amazing enough, but six!

Wow. Super cool.

Wow.

Wish i'd come across them. Was in Braemar on Friday.

(PHY895S appears to be original. Others are Hawk or Transformer. Can't run a check on the foreign plate)

Oh my

Pretty sure that's just a UK Q plate.

Ah yes - you are correct. Cheeky.

Ferg's right - it's a disguised Q plate

It's a Hawkridge - 3 litre - that will be quick

Amazing sight, and I'd imagine quite a noise too!

I'd imagine none of them, you can quickly rule out 3 by wrong age number plates.

Google suggests that PHY895S is a Hawk. I suspect it probably wasn't all that hard to get one registered as a Lancia at one point. >100,000 miles is pretty impressive though!
It also has a 3 litre engine (the originals being 2.5)

Beautiful cars either way

nice spot!!

Saw them on the Edinburgh City By-pass yesterday around 3pm heading East

IIRC, all genuine Strato's were left hand drive?

And interestingly - or not - it's "Strato's" rather than "Stratos" - As per the badge on the rear:

Oh my. Ross, you are correct!

I honestly did not know this
