Hmm. where to start. Always loved the 250f, banged on about them untill everybody got bored, then decided to build one. Went to see VOSA, to see if it was possible, bearing in mind it had to be road legal. They proved invaluable,not only with help and advise, but hours of conversation about compliance, safety etc. After that it was just a matter of bashing some metal with a hammer, and welding, and some careful measuring. Luckily, my normal business brought me into contact with the real thing, and the owners were more than happy to let me measure their cars, and take countless pictures. What you see is the result of about 6 years work, mainly research, the car took 14 months from scratch to build, lots of tea, and a very understanding wife. If you have anything specific to ask, feel free, or have a look at tipo250.co.uk. Turn the volume up, its a short clip, but quite musical. Thanks for the interest. Andy.

tis a work of art. Love the number plate too!

Had a qucik look on that site (but am working so was only a peek) - is that your car or is that a recreation kit that you've built off the back of your hard work?

Thats my car on the site. As soon as I find a microphone that can cope with 107db, I will put a longer clip on.

Gonna make a big ask here , anyone fancy going halves with me , thinking it would be cool to ask Andy to bring it down to the First meet at Ace Cafe in the new year , im happy to pay at least half for him to have it trailered down from and back to Nottingham , thats unless he's keen to drive it down

No need. If the weathers dry, I'll drive down. Thats what it was built for . Might cost you a cuppa though.
