It is a mistake to think you can solve any major problems just with potatoes . . .
There was a point to this story, but it has temporarily escaped the chronicler's mind

Interesting article, lots of history in there. Was good to put a few faces to names.

The Striker is the most significant of all the Sylva models. It arrived in 1986

Couldn't agree more... but blimey that's 28yrs ago. Just goes to show what a good, simple design concept it was, and an outstanding base for what was to follow.
I was going to say its still the most RAW Sylva driving experience, but actually, that's probably now a bit of a R1OT :lol:

Still remember comparing Striker vs Fury vs Stylus (& all the others) at the Sandown kit show in '97/98.
Ended up with a Stylus, which I'm still more than happy with 15yrs on.
But just reminiscing like that makes me feel like an old fart at 44 !
