The evolution of 666
1 Attachment(s)
Recently I was able to buy a Tribute 250 direct from Chris ( and Dan ).
So, this isn't a build thread as the credit for that lays with them ......its more of an evolution. http://www.madabout-kitcars.com/foru...&pictureid=933 |

Anyway, I'm Graham, and I have been lucky enough to own a few "interesting" ( to me anyway) cars....

I live in Norwich and Bob is a good friend, so I'm 'blaming' him for letting me drive his 250 Coupe.
This is the informal inaugural meeting of the Norwich Tribute 250 owners club! http://www.madabout-kitcars.com/foru...&pictureid=930 |

So thank you to Chris and Dan for the build and 100% honesty and after-sales advice.
Bob for the inspiration to buy it. And Mike , of Mustard City Speed Shop , for collecting it from Dorset and the MOT work. For everything else, I'm to blame! |

Hi Graham, glad to see you've made it onto here.
It's a great car and one you are adding your own handmade touches to. Hopefully you'll show more detail on some, such as the side vents and badge I saw on Sunday. Remind me when I come over on Friday and I'll show you how I do the photos (hopefully it will work for you too) Cheers, Bob. |
I do like the "just done the Targa Florio in it" look.
Sort the exhaust and leave the rest. If I had the space, I'd ask Chris & Dan to do one just like it for me. |

Sweet! Love it!
Especially the pics with the coupe and the convertible together. Your hiboy was amazing. That's another car on my bucket list... If only I had a bigger garage... Great to see you on here :) |
HI, WELCOME ABOARD ...The flatty powered Rdstr looks cool ...I have had a few 32's myself over the years and a couple of them were flatty powered ..
I have a soft spot for Morris 8's too ..years and years ago , there was a group of guys from Southend that built 50's style cars , moon discs , scallops etc. and one of the group had a Morris 8 in yellow called Screamin' yella Zonka ..it had a big influence on me at the time despite still being at school ... Looking forward to seeing what you do with the 250 .. |
Welcome Graham,
Fine collection of cars you have owned there. Love the 250 you have. All dirty and mean is a good look. I even like the wheels which normally would be the first to go on a build. They suit the car a lot. Dave |
Tigga - Welcome to the forum Graham. :cool:
As Bob said, it would be great if you could show your evolution work. As these forums are great for picking up ideas from other builders. Good luck, Paul. :) PS Here is your car at the Brass Monkeys Run. http://i1186.photobucket.com/albums/...ps4rvwkjit.jpg |
Thanks for the positive and encouraging comments.
Once Ive mastered the photo embedding thing...I will add some more. cheers, Graham |

Rear vent detail, piece of alloy and a 3/8ths dimple die.

Spyder badges dont seem very easy to find!
So, a piece of alloy, jigsaw, cutting disc and chain drilling.....more filing / sanding needed but I like it. http://www.madabout-kitcars.com/foru...&pictureid=937 |
