I'm not trying to be 'that guy', but a 250 GTO (or MX250, in this case) is a curvaceous fifties car. A Mustang is a boxy sixties car. I'm not sure that Eleanor-inspired styling will work at all. Happy to be proved wrong, though!

A fair point.

Are you referring to the paint job on the Eleanore?
Gunmetal w/black stripe. Would look good on an MX250.

Gunmetal grey with a blood red interior is my favourite colour combo.
I have a SL 350 and I tried to get the gunmetal grey with a berry red interior but this colour combination just sells straight away second hand and seems to attract a premium price. I had to settle for boring silver but managed to get the berry red interior, makes such a difference to the normal boring grey.

That is what I was thinking about.

Gunmetal grey with a blood red interior is my favourite colour combo - that would definitely work!!!!!

Houston we have ignition!!!!!

The guy has just come back to me and confirmed it is mine - he has assured me he isn't going to talk to anyone else - the ad should be coming off Gumtree soon.

Right, I need to get a transport company sorted now, anyone got any pointers?

Where are you and the car located?

Car is in Portsmouth, I am in Belfast.

I mentioned this in another thread, if you want to try a colour scheme you can do worse than use the garage in a game like Gran Tourismo. Lots of cars available and if you know how you can add stripes, stickers and all sorts.

A good pointer but unfortunately I haven't got access to GT. Sold my Xbox a few years ago.

I'll ask one of my kids to have a go and see if I can do a screen shot.

Lol. Cheers mate, where would we be without the youth of today!

Good luck with the build. There's a few company's who advertise in the Classic car section of ebay, I actually thought abut hiring a flat bed truck to pick one of my cars up, couple of companies who hire them out, just do a google search.

Use anyvan.com alwayd cheap for me with companies bidding lower for the work.

Thanks Danny, will give them a look.

Any news on the car? Hope it's going to plan.

He is working away from home at the moment so communication is scarce to say the least! He has promised me it is mine , but as we all know until the V5 is in your hand nothing is certain. Got some good quotes for getting it lifted from Portsmouth to Belfast - 400 to 500 quid which I thought was pretty good.

As soon as money has changed hands and the car is here I will be happy!
