The Lancia Stratos Stradale, body number 445, is a matching-numbers example finished in blue and first registered in Italy in October 1975. Powered by the mid-mounted Ferrari-derived Dino V-6, the Stratos was purpose-built for world rally competition, ultimately claiming three consecutive World Rally Championship titles between 1974 and 1976. This particular example has been with its current owner for over two decades and retains its original drivetrain, intact identification tags, and stamped body numbers throughout.

Are you the owner of this car?

This car's public record is built from its auction and competition history. Register your ownership and privately add your own records to make it a verified Legacy Metrics passport — provenance that backs your car's value at sale and gives your insurer evidence to price against. Roy reviews and verifies every registration personally.

Each chassis record is compiled from public auction archives and links to its source material. Ownership, competition and maintenance entries are extracted from those catalogue listings by an LLM, which can make mistakes — please contact us with any corrections. The summary is Legacy Metrics’ own writing; we do not reproduce catalogue text.

“Full” and “partial” documentation labels indicate how well each entry is corroborated in the underlying sources, not an audit of the car’s physical paperwork. Names of recent or living owners are withheld for privacy.
