Just noticed the headlamp trims don't align. I'm sure it's on your snagging list though.

[andysharrock]

Wow - that's better! Great colour choice - looks a proper classic - you won't want to sell it now!

[andysharrock]

Put it on Car and Classic without a price and let the offers flood in.
If your going to sell straight away I would hold off the numbers in case a buyer is put off.

I guess you have about 10k in it, I would like to think you may double that.

thanks for that for once I agree with wise words

No offence to anyone but do not mention Tribute - call it a 250 SWB evocation based on proven BMW mechanicals etc. Throw in some 'period features' and 'hand crafted' and 'bespoke' and 'shod with' for the tyres. It's all a game!

[andysharrock]

so true

Wow - another stunning 250swb evocation

Well worth finishing in my book. I have no idea of the market-place but it looks fab-u-lous !

Really like the door handle treatment by the way

Someone (Richard) has already listed the kits on there so someone may be ready to buy a ready built example

Very nice, I like the fact that we've all added our own personal touches so although they are the same they all different.

Good words of advice ref selling. Avoid the term "kit car", use "recreation". Don't mention "fibre glass body", use "composite".
Do mention "hand crafted", " bespoke", " classic",

I wouldn't bother with ebay , go to the classic car sites or magazines or take the car to classic car events etc etc .

Just my take on it if you want top dollar !

Andy - Your car looks great and it is a lovely colour.

I'm sure the stripes and numbers will look good too.

Good luck, Paul.
