I’d been longing to see a Stratos in action my whole life, and when one appeared on the entry list for the Silver Fern Rally in New Zealand, I simply had to find a way to get there to see it.
I can listen to the sweet sound of a BD-engined Escort all day long, but after listening to videos of the Ferrari-engined Stratos for many years, I knew that seeing one in the flesh would fill a big void in my rallying ‘catalogue’.
