And here's one we prepared earlier (do they still say that on Blue Peter?):

I would take a standard MX5 in p/x if it is in clean condition.

£1200 is a bargain.
Mine has cost me far more than that to finish .

After the huge interest and quick sale of our last unfinished MX250 hardtop here's another one:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1910782193...84.m1586.l2649
99 watchers in under 3 hours!
Big tall tyres on this one fill the arches well.

A really interesting prospect this. It looks good on those wheels.
Is this available to view at your place Chris or elsewhere? Looks like the back of the Nuffield in the photos.

Spotted this morning at the roadside in Northbourne - the new owner?
Certainly looked good, really like the wheels on it.

New owner is Gary from Essex, who asked us to add some vents to the B pillars (a la Seanick/275) before he collects the car on Thursday
He just needs to add some glass/perspex after the car is painted and he will have improved rear 3/4 vision

Kits still available?
Dear all,
I am Thomas and new here and was so happy to see that there is a GTO kit for the MX-5 - GREAT!!! I had in the past two MX-5 and drove them for nearly 15 years.
My last project was a Mustang 1968, but after 3 years I sold it, no time and kids ;-).
The situation has not changed, but I ever wanted to have a GTO and I want again to have a project.
I tried hard to get in contact with Tribute Automotive Builds (webside, ebay, but no response, even a PM through this forum to them.
So is there any chance to get a MX250 Kit anymore or do they stop selling?
Also I am in contact with Heinrich here from the froum and will talk tomorrow with him about the "special problems" in Germany to register a MX250, which I think will not be easy.... :-(
Would like to know which exhaust systems you have used for your kits? And is there no problems in the UK with louder or selfmade exhaust systems for the MX-5? Here we do have... :-(
Which rear window have you used?
Take care
Thomas

Chris at Tribute is pretty busy. I guess he also gets quite a few time wasters as well.
He will normally respond, it just takes him a few days.
The rear window is Renault 5, Tribute generally have them so you can get one at the same time as the kit.
