Hey Drummajor metallic silver please. My donor was met silver and i just couldnt decide on a colour. Also now insides look the same. Did you get yours registerd ok ? I did mine last year, DVLA gave a quick look over and gave me Tribute 250GT on log book. They forgot the O but its good enough.

Drummajor · #**123** 25th February 2014, 07:25

Still not got it registered yet. Sent in the form beginning of December !!

Is it worth all the hassle of getting the log book changed just to get Tribute mx250 printed in it?
Anyone who buys the car is going to know what it is. From 1st October there are going to be no tax discs displayed and that would be the only advantage I can see would be not to have mx5 printed on the tax disc.

Some people on here suggested the police would stop you all the time if the log book was not amended.

Jaguartvr · #**126** 25th February 2014, 18:36

Good point hadn't thought of that.

My friend is a traffic officer and he said if something looking like an MX250 drove past and it came back as a MX5 he would tug it. Also I think its part of the process. You take an ordinary car and turn it into something extraordinary and it should have a log book to show that.And it will help when you want to sell your car if you register it correctly. People like bits of paper.

I find that quite shocking...................a traffic officer with a friend

Drummajor · #**129** 26th February 2014, 03:07

Still waiting for the dvla to get back to me . Almost 3 months now !!
Trying to play by the rules.

It happened to a friend of mine, he had a Lotus 7 type thing, not correctly registered

drove past a police car, they typed his reg in to the PNC and it comes back "Ford Cortina MK4 saloon"

Its a no brainer really," right lets do him" Anyone would act the same, how could you ignore that?

Resistance is futile!

Drummajor · #**132** 26th February 2014, 08:28

As I've said many times before, still waiting for the dvla to get back to me !!
Sent the form in December .

Sounds like a lost in the post/ massive admin cock-up going on here!
Haveyou tried phoning them?

Drummajor · #**134** 26th February 2014, 16:28

Chris is chasing it up for me as I'm still in Afghanistan !

Peepsy · #**135** 26th February 2014, 17:27

Hes a good man, how long before you can drive your car again ?

Peepsy · #**136** 9th March 2014, 17:30

Have started to put in my lights and stuck my plate on with some tape to check out what it looked like. want the car to look aged what you think.

Drummajor · #**137** 9th March 2014, 18:05

I am a big fan of the aged patina look, mostly because I am aged myself! Silver really suits the shape. Will you be making the trip upto Stoneleigh in May Roger?

Shame. I guess I will have to come down to Penzance in the summer to see you and the car.
