I like the old scool look, I'm really glad that Chris produces such a stylish kit.
On the road, the people turn around and keep the thumbs up
I like it

Are the front parts side lights? If so I may do the same as the headlights I've got don't have a side light in them.

Today we were the Head Turner on our trip to Bavaria.
All the people were enthusiastic, an old grandma and grandpa were delighted at the gas station to see these beautiful cars.
At the end of the trip we wanted to take pictures in front of the castle Wilhelmsbad. That was funny. Families have found themselves in front of the cars and have photographed it.

This was an absolutely fantastic day with great cars

Chargerstang - Both the cars look great Heinrich.

I think you will be turning heads all the way when you come to England.

Good luck, Paul.

hello together,
short info: My 250 GT runs so far without problems.
Now I need something new (V8)
I would like to buy a Cobra
Now I've found one at ebay.
Perhaps someone has seen her or knows?
I would appreciate your opinions very
Greetings Heinrich

Looks nice. If you are looking for a V8, have you looked at putting an ls 1 V8 in the mx250? If you check out some of the miata US forums they do it quite a lot, 400 bhp sounds tempting.....

Hi Heinrich, finally got round to registering on this site. We met at the Tribute "Open" day at Chris's earlier this year. Loved your car.
I bought Hammy's started mx 250.
If it's of any help and i expect you know this; The Pilgrim was at the lower end of Cobra market (in terms of chassis development/ quality etc), although the one you have found may be well built.

Cheers, Chris

Ps You did say you would send a fuel filler neck adaptor to me, does that still stand ? Cheeky eh

Hello again Heinrich, I am glad to hear your MX250 has been no trouble. Good luck with the Cobra, a supercharger will correct the lack of horsepower....

Hi Chris. Welcome aboard the Forum. Good to speak to you again on Friday, I hope to see you and your car at Exeter. I think everyone on here would agree that it's good to take your car to shows even if it's unfinished

oh sorry, the part is wrapped in the workshop and since it is already months.
send me another email address I'll send it off immediately.
I had simply forgotten to label.
Greetings
