Hi there to all,
What do you get when you mix two of Tributes most popular models, the MX250 and the 250SWB?

You get a 250 Engineering Squalo.





At first, the project was called Moderna, a sort-of mashup of "Modena" and "modern." But, in the wake of that worldwide pandemic people have been talking so much about, Moderna is now pretty much known as a vaccine for coronavirus. So they changed the name: "Squalo." Italian for "shark." . A much better idea.

I am sure you could easily modify the Tribute SWB to look very similar to the Squalo if you wanted something similar. Who will be the first to try.

There are several donors on ebay that would lend themselves , here is one example...

but would you spend that much on a car to them chop it about ?

Very nice, I wonder what it would look like in convertible form?

I just happen to have an unstarted one lurking in the back garden, I even have enough paint left over in the correct colour!

It would look awesome!
never got an email on the 250 grille

I sold it to him over a year ago , Geoff .

The colour looks like that very rare , Illusive Blue !

It might be a bit cheeky to build one and get it on the road before the GTO version which isn't due until 2023 !

And it looks a lot nicer than the Squalo thing IMHO

Is it me or does this look less SWB and more Tribute ? The wheels look pretty cool too, plenty of 18's out their to choose from, even straight from the BMW parts bin !

never received. Check spelling.

Just fixing the link on one of the photos.

could without the bonnet vents and the Zagato roofline.
It makes it a little overdone.
