Joe's Alterative MX250 Hardtop

[zagmad]

He he. Not for a while.

[zagmad]

Lots happened since the build started lots of projects started up round the same time. Plus the amz is quite a hard shape to perfect as it has lots of twists and curves. Theirs not lots of them around to see at shows and accurate models that show how the lines flow. Alot of the build has bin through trial and error. My focus lapsed and it went a bit tips ut. But its getting back on track

[zagmad]

Maybe he's on a well earned holiday after all the late nights and early starts getting kits ready for shows.

[zagmad]

Maybe he's left the country. I would, apparently still warm on the greek islands. Can still be in the 70's. I went in may for 2weeks a few years back and it had a heat wave of 103. Its kinda weather your shoes start to melt in the tarmac and its so warm you cant walk on the sand without your flip flops.

Nice.



Would work very well on your car with Gulf orange detailing round the grille and over the roof imho -

Gulf colours seem to suit almost everything. A friend recently painted his cafe racer in them. His old man remembered that in period the original colours were from Triumph (cars not bikes) so he used these:
Light Blue code is (P030-8013) and the Marigold (P030-3393)

Also known as:
Berger Ref 1125 Standard Triumph Powder blue
Berger Ref 1465 Triumph Marigold

If you're one for detail, the dark stripe between the orange and blue should be Triumph dark blue.

Having said that, the MG above is a lovely colour.

Works with the curves well. And breaks down the width.

Take a closer look, it's not an IQ, it's a thirty-one thousand pound Aston Martin Cygnet. Bargain.

Amazing how a badge can double the price

Apologies if I missed your cynicism but the Cygnet is based on the iQ

Whereas Lancia used to be very special indeed

Apologies but no progress due to the need to catch up with kit orders delayed by SWB development..... No holiday yet,
