It's been a while since you posted one of these, clubman!

Such an astounding lack of detail in the ad, no engine, no interior, no words :roll:

Stopped looking when asking prices got covid silly - only had a quick look today to see if Yahn & mx589 were advertising as Ross was after parts. Saw the above & thought it worth posting for awareness.

Let's see, front of car is trying to be an Alfa (look at the tiny grille). Middle is Mazda. Rear is trying to be a Ferrari.
Result is total confusion.

Nope - he's definitely a TZ1/2 fan, the back is classic TZ. I was in love with those cars when Mildren (IIRC) ran them ...

I'd still pass though :cry:

Just went down the rabbit hole and found this, convert your MX5 into an Alfa 158;

Grays auction pictures from 2 years ago shows odometer at 135,000 kays. Current seller states 131,000 kays.
Grays states car as a 1990 model. Current seller states it as 1991.
Watchout people, there are people out there very loose with the truth.

Those Grays pics with the silver engine bay reminded me it was the one advertised on Guntree back in Jan 2019, which I posted on here: viewtopic.php?f=73&t=77550

Yeah, watched Ant building his replica in the US when it was on TV last year:
