That honour fell to Lister Bell Automotive and their STR Stratos replica as part of a campaign run by prestigious watch brand, Zenith, who sponsor former Grand Prix driver, \u00c9rik Comas (59 starts between 1991-94 for Ligier and then Larrousse) and his Lancia Stratos rally car.<\/p>\n<p>Lister Bell\u2019s MD, Craig White was approached by Zenith, who wanted a Stratos in a specific bodystyle and livery, as the focal point of their Harrods display. The car remained in situ for the month of May and is a significant coup for not only Lister Bell but the industry in general.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.totalkitcar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/news_listerbell_2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-8167\" title=\"news_listerbell_2\" src=\"https:\/\/www.totalkitcar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/news_listerbell_2-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a>Lister Bell could well be the first kitcar in Harrods window, but I am certain that a TiCi, thanks to Sir Stirling Moss\u2019 involvement, was on display there back in the day, as aprt of some publicity stunt, although that may not have been in the window. Meanwhile, a Charger was definitely shown at Selfridges in Oxford Street in the seventies.<\/p>\n<p>Either way, it\u2019s a great bit of Kudos for Craig and team. Well done to all.
