This is near-Petrolicious level of video quality, plus the car is simply amazing... Congrats Patina!
Guilhem Jager ...yeah, like Petrolicious minus the stupid Turtle Wax commercial appearing in the middle of them.
@King Brilliant ....and now look at the backlash Petrolicious has, first Turtle Wax ads within the video and now trying to get membership for special vids, how the mighty have fallen.
I have a Stratos in my Garage. He was very very expensive. But...You know..there are simple Rallye Cars and there is a Stratos. A Stratos is Not only a Car. IT is a passion
I have been to galleries with less art then whats in your garage...
My favourite rally car! I’m from Kenya, we’d follow the Safari for the full 5 days. The stratos was incredibly loud and we would hear in for a good 5 mins before we saw it. Would love to drive one....and own one!!
This man is a proper hero ! Much respect !
Word!
Great car.Im 54yr old I saw the car crossing kamatira forest check point kenya in the seventies..that is where my enthusiasm for cars started.
The world needs blokes like these,..TY ..👏🇬🇧
I was lucky to hear and see these in Cropton Forest in the RAC in the70's nothing else like it.
Im so glad that it is driven instead of garaged like many other rare cars.
One of the best petrolhead video I've ever seen
I've seen two of these in Sydney, in the glorious 80s.
Hardly surprising. 400 made
You don't quickly forget them.
Especially the NOISE...
😍😍😍
One of the most beautiful cars ever made. Thank you for keeping it on the road
Its not a car , its a Big Legendary Automotive & Rally Story !!
This has to be the best car channel on CZcams right now. 11/10 production and overall quality.
Oh, don't make us blush!
OMG Lancia Stratos, you sir are a gentleman and a scholar
I have same feelings, indeed i was born in autumn 1971 and it's been actually the first car in my life that made me smile.. unique!!!!
Thanks for sharing Massimiliano!
Such an incredible story about a sympathetic and enthusiastic owner...just think of all the nine-and-ten-year-old children whose motoring passions will have been awakened by his mission to use and show the Stratos in the environments which it was designed for!
A brilliant way to pay JOY forward...CHEERS! 🏁
i was a kid living in new york, when my dad bought me a toy stratos. we didnt know anything about rally, or any car outside american car companies. closest we knew of was the general lee dodge charger. i remember thinking that the toy wasnt a real car, being radically styled. i lost it at a laundry mat, and as time passed, the memory faded. years later, while playing a game called sega rally, i saw my car. the stratos. i got excited, and was telling my dad, thats my car! ive been obsessed with this car since those days. to this day, its the only car that brings tears to my eyes. its perfect. the sound, the look, and the skill required to drive it. its my mexico. its the only thing on my bucket list. its literally all i want. of course, ill never afford one, never see one in person, never hear it in life. all i got is these videos, video games, and dreams. i hope that anyone who has one, or has driven one, knows how blessed they are.
1:40 Mere Hairpin Oliver's Mount Scarborough. I was there.
Happy days.
I guess that everyone noticed, that it was Jeremy Clarkson in the replica.
He's still there...Trapped in!
Yeah, I guess so
Congratulation and thanks to keep Lancia alive in UK.
I love cars. I love a lot of cars. But this car...
This car, this exact car, the Alitalia Safari Stratos, oh my god!
I don't have the words...
wonderful...the sound is fantastic !!!
just fantastic respect for this man rebuilt piece history 1970s and 80s rallying never forgot today rallying to technical and little bland aprt from isleman manx rallying just amazing
respect
Cheer Passion ,Amazing dedication to a icon of a car ,built for purpose .
Agree with previous comments
Very well done film. Car is nothing short of incredible
Owner/caretaker should be commended. Job done ✅😎👍🏆🏁
People NEVER find classic cars.
Classic cars always finds the owners. Some how the cosmos matches passion with passion
Every single classic car I have owned ( many ) I was looking for that specific model ,But the car always found me.
Great car great story.....my car growing up that grabbed my
Passion by the tail into the sports car world in the Very Early 70s was a GT 40. A long story but I enjoyed your story, very much.
I hope all my loved classic cars could find me like they do with you lol :)) but looks like money have to "find" me first LMAO
Unfortunately I can only like this video once, I love your car :-)
I too am one of those 50 (is) year old men who have never been able to get this car out of my head having seen it at the RAC rally in 1975 although I only watched it on the TV, I have seen roller skates with a longer wheelbase it must be terrifying to keep on top of!
I recall the Lancia Stratos - a vehicle that sounded like a giant angry mosquito killer with many eyes and a tire atop its head. I used to watch the rally as a kid about 30-40 years ago. It used to be called the East African Safari Rally and was WRC then. I remember waking up late in the night to listen to the radio announcement of the points garnered by my favorite driver. I remember the Italian team with their Lancia Stratos trying again and again to win the rally to no avail, always retiring due to mechanical issues. Several car manufacturers built safari rally special cars. The rally would run over 5,000 km spanning 3 countries (Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania) in a week. It was grueling and drivers drove day and night. It was considered (as the current rally is) as the toughest rally in the world. Punishing to the drivers, service personnel and the vehicles. Add elephants, lions, giraffes, into the mix and you have one great, great rally adventure.
Nothing can match the sound of a stratos going through the dovey forest in mid wales ,on the RAC rally, thank you brought back memories of my teens ,I'm a pensioner now but still a petrol head.
Congratulations Mr. David Hanman for bringing that rally car back to life and to PATINA for uploading this superb video!!!
This car is a true legend and for me the most iconic rally car of my era. I want the soundtrack of a Stratos at full bore in the forest played at my funeral. To get the chance to drive one would be incredible. Top marks for restoring it to safari spec👍
Same sensation for me when I see the Lancia Stratos in Sanremo Rally ...this car come from the moon ? Amazing.
I think still my favorite going all the way back to a kid in the 80s. Wonderful vid.
David , you are a wonderfull mind and human . Thank you very much for your efforts.....a car lover from Greece.
*Designed and Build for one purpose and one purpose only - TO DECIMATE EVERYTHING ON THE RALLY STAGES!!! Their rivals maked racing cars ...Lancia created a Legend! Stratos - The Rally Queen*
*Forza Lancia!* 🇮🇹
Thank you Patina for sharing this beautiful story. If David reads this, Sir a lot of respect for you.
I was working as a shop fitter and working late when the RAC came through Exeter in the Haldon forest . I just had to duck out to see it come through much to the annoyance of the rest of the gang that night. You could hear it coming in the distance and you knew right away what it was and then it appeared sideways and in a cloud of dust and was gone . I am 78 know and will always remember that night.
What a glorious car, restoration and attitude from the owner; drive it like you own it!!
he's for real, what passion! And the restoration, how perfect was that! He drives it too, how great.
Anything from LANCIA gives me goose bumps..So glad to see it restored and loved.
Magic, just magic!
Incredible video. Great quality and the story was delivered in the most beautiful way. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
One lucky man.. Thanks for keeping it alive and driving it.
The most wonderful car in the most wonderful video... ever.
Much love and respect David all the way from Egypt. You have done an amazing job. Do keep driving and enjoying it. You probably spark dreams for people every time they see and hear your Stratos :)
Awesome story. There just is something magical about these cars that sticks with you.
"I just wanted to give the car its due credit" so fucking true, this man is a LEGEND
Thank you sooooo much for sharing your truly amazing, might I say mental motor with the world and becoming the proper owner /stewardand caretaker of a real legend in motorsport!!!
Massive respect to Mr David for restoring that beautiful Lancia. Also, The Storytelling and cinematography is just amazing Patina. 👏🏻
Bellissima Stratos 😎👍
the true italian "madness" and love for cars, before the flatness, of the soul less "modern" fiat management.
alfa, lancia, true abarth modifications, those car our dna.
Amazing production thank you
I have no words - but plenty of memories seeing that car flying through the trees at the Lombard RAC rally. What a car !!
Thank you so much for sharing this... !!!
Well done mate for resorting it and not making it a garage queen. Its the car i dreamed about along side the Delta. I've been to many Lombard RAC rallys and its great you are reconstructing them :-)
Thank you David, my hair stood up too.
Glorious! Thanks for sharing!
One *GREAT* great video. AND 'oneGREAT' *STORY.* - THANKS:))
SO _GORGEOUS_ . I love the Stratos... what a truly beautiful example. Thanks for sharing mate.
I had the same experience falling in love with Rally in the 80s/Group B. For me the dream rally car is a Lancia Delta Integralle or a AWD Toyota Celica (ST205 variant) in Castrol paint works.
Thanks for the chance to show us this lovely & amazing Lancia, to share the history behind and use/enjoy the car!
What a lyrical and evocative new channel...I am jumping in with both feet!!
P A T I N A . . . What a new way to celebrate the joys of motoring!! 🏁
always loved the Stratos!!!
Thank you for this phenomenal video which presents the personality of the car and owner so well. Gorgeous scenery too.. Kudos!
What a story, what a car.
Fantastic!
I love this car! Its Absolutely glorious! I was smiling the whole time. Just looking at this car or seeing it in photos is enough to make your pulse race. Thank you.
Beautiful, well done on the excellent restoration work.
This is the first I’ve seen of this channel. Absolutely brilliant quality and great mixing of sound and scenes. Nothing overtaken by gaudy music either. Subscribed!
Thanks Ryan! Good to have you on board. New stuff coming up!
Congrats guys a masterpiece!
The closest I ever got to the Stratos was a diecast model I owned as a kid while living behind the Iron Curtain. I did not know much about it, but loved the shape and felt it was a very special car. Thank you for the video. I feel your passion for this car.
And you felt it when you were a kid, this is indeed a powerful design.
I only lived behind floral curtains but I too had a die cast model of a Stratos as a kid. I knew nothing of the car, but was fascinated by the unusual design, was always my favourite .
Congrats on bringing a Legend back to life, full credit to you. Having watched rallying for well over 45 years , there is nothing that beats the sound of this beast. Except maybe a Testarossa with a custom exhaust!
Damn, I have a lot of respect for people who drive the remaining Stratos', even the kits. I fell in love with rally cars when I saw the Stratos.. a true gem from human history. I still have wanted to drive one, just see one in person for a while now. One day I hope to make a replica and drive the hell out of it. It belongs in the wild
Very very cool,... thanks for sharing.
Utterly marvellous... and what a legend Mr Hanman is; to invest so much time, money and effort in a restoration project and absolutely spank the car at every opportunity. Bravo and thanks!
Wonderful work!! I jumped to subscribe button when the owner said "it make your hair stand up", and i did. Like, in the whole video.
Grazie, grazie mille.
I remeber when i first saw the Stratos in Gran Turismo 6 when i was 9 and how i fell in love with it
Very nice presentation, interesting no mention of the Ferrari derived, wonderful sounding engine.
One of the most beautiful cars in history
So glad to hear this owner still drives it and puts it in off road events and shows.
Nice video PATINA. Subscribed. Keep up the good work!
Well done. A young boy's romance with a car that is never fully forgotten. Haven't we all experienced that love affair. Very proud for you and I must say there are few men better in the world than a mechanic who loves his work and demands everything be correct. You both have my respect and admiration. Thank you for the video and thanks for sharing your experiences. (From the USA).
Cool car, cool owner.
Great job , this video has a really high level of quality , thanks for making it
What a delight to see! Great video and as they would say back in good old Somerset...."Give it some wellie"...Nice one!
one of the most beautiful Rally Car ever built- very futuristic for the time it was build and i still feel the same emotion after decades
Sterke start! Ik kijk uit naar toekomstige videos...
Thanks Peter!
Brilliant!
Instantly subscribed. Love the story, great passion. Fantastic content looking forward to more!
Fantastic. When I was at school in Bath the RAC rally came in 1976 I think , the Lancia team visited and drove around the school grounds .
I can also remember at the end of the rally the Lancia returning battle scared at night spitting flames, I was twelve I remember that moment more than my wedding. Incredible
😊👏👏 wow that’s true passion n love.
Love these little hot rods... seeing this car driven as it should be, and owned by a fellow that gets how important that is... beautiful !
A beautiful video and a beautiful car
Absolutely epic
Great story and production
A grand and beautiful story.
Beautiful video, fantastic car. Good job!
I'm glad I've found this channel, looking forward to future videos, definately "Petrolicious-esque"😎
This video and story was absolutely phenomenal, the car speaks for itself!!
Just amazing 😉
