Striker / Stuart Taylor?
Hi, i understand the history of the Phoenix to the Fury, however i am confused about the relationship between the 7 type cars. Is the Stuart Taylor
an older Striker or not related at all?
Regards
Matt

I understand the Stuart Taylor is not related to the Striker. I believe the Striker was a Jeremy Phillip's car and now owned by Raw Motorsport.
I also believe the Stuart Taylor car was owned by someone else before.

Not related t each other... but your confusion might arise from Stuart Taylor (I believe) at one time having the rights to the Phoenix (and producing
with a round tube version of the chassis).

The Stuart Taylor Loco range started out as a slightly tweaked book Locost developed for the 750mc race series. It was then further tweaked to add
bike engines and IRS. Steve Huckerby took over the rights in the mid 2000s, setting up Aries Motorsport. Aries has recently found new owners who plan
to develop it further.
The St/Aries Loco is a slightly bigger car than the Striker.

Thank you for the replies. Trying to understand how all the variants work out.
Sold my Caterham a few years back and shocked at the prices now I am back in the market. Therefore looking at BEC 7's or preferably a BEC Fury
/ Phoenix.
I had seen a few Stuart Taylor, Strikers, MK Indy's and was getting a little confused.

Striker is quite distinctive, especially the classic with the triangular scuttle panel.
Key difference up close (and if you're 'wide' ) is the single plane sides, ie the cockpit and engine bay tapers in one, with no kink
at the front of the cockpit like most 7/locosts do.
The car is small, but this makes the cockpit even narrower.

The Striker Mk4 and the Phoenix were one and the same. From the JPSC website...
"The Striker Mk4 became the Phoenix when Chris Appleby took over sales and marketing from his glass fibre production premises near
Silverstone."
It passed into the hands of STM who then produced the round tube Phoenix. I have one of these cars.
The Phoenix ended up with RAW.
The Striker Mk4 went to Cyana Cars.
This convoluted family tree is discussed here...
