Hi chaps

Looking at a build for a Tribute 250 SWB hard top. What would you estimate build time to be up to sending to paint shop?

I won't be able to make it this time as I will be in Manchester (in the Z300S) but have a double espresso for me!

Tribute Automotive Owners Club

To Join : Read below and them email me your details : [email]tributeautomotiveoc@gmail.com[/email]

It is a very simple club. There is no joining fee and you get nothing for joining other than a membership number. If we need some money we will send an email to all members explaining what we need the money for, how much we want and ask you to paypal gift the money to us (cash, cheques and bank transfers can probably also be dealt with).

The plan is to keep the club simple, un-cliqued, fun and easy. There will be 2-3 TAOC events that will be exclusive to members, associate members, their friends and anyone else we decide might be fun to have there. The rest of the time people will just say which events they are planning on going to so other members can meet up. If other stuff develops then we will play it by ear.

I will be keeping a register of members and the cars. If you want to join then please fill in as many details as possible below. The first row is my details so you have an idea of what is meant. Your details won't be shared with other organisations without your permission.

If you email me your details then you will become a member. If your car is not completed yet don't worry you will be a 'pending member' until it is on the road. If you don't own a Tribute (Chris!?) but still want to join the gang you can still apply as an associate member. Please add a statement saying why you should be included, the more amusing the more likely you are to be accepted


I I know this is a really old thread but I'm hoping you're still following it

are you on the tribute automotive owners group on Facebook as I'm sure you're probably someone already talked to !
if not they're looking at setting up an Owners Club.
we've taken over recently when nubodi retired as tribute sales and after sales people's and it would be really good to meet up with a few people this summer and also maybe get a bit of a database going as to who owns one and who doesn't

hope to hear from you

Stoneleigh

[SIZE="3"]Hi

Can we ask if there is going to be any Tribute Club presence at Stoneleigh or any cars exhibited ?

Anyone else interested in the Greenwich to Brighton run on Sunday June 2nd ?[/SIZE]
7 Mar 2019, 7:32am
I am going to Stoneleigh and will park my red Kobra in the Tribute OC area 49b (not on display of course). I’m there on the Sunday as that looks to be the busier day by previous year reports.

Belle from ClassicCoachWorks will be adding some details on any official presence soon I’m sure as I think there is news on that front.

I will be entering my car in the “worst Kobra that has had too many bits cut off” category. You cannot miss me as I will be sporting a beard I have on loan from uncle Albert in only fools and horses.

Hi there.
Ref Stoneleigh....

We are Tribute automotive UK sales agents and after sales people. We took over last May/June when the chaps at Nubodi retired to France.
We have booked a joint stand at stoneleigh, we look forward to seeing customers new and old. 😊

Dear Mr P, looking forward to catching up! I am intending to strap a bbq to back of the ridiculously ugly but cool motorhome.... and hoping even more to get time to eat!


ref the inpressive beard.... I have it on good authority that since his lowly and untimely passing in a Vat of special yellow restaurant kitchen paint ( drowned in as he dived in the back of the 3 wheeler like an angry seagull to avoid the incoming boys in blue) Uncle Albert no longer has any need for the beard..... you're safe😉😊

see you all soon!

Belle, I will keep the beard then.

I’d be interested in seeing the food from the bbq.

Will there be Tribute burgers? Such as the :

Big Malc
Double Whipper
Ferrafries

No trademarks infringed of course,

Still got my convertible SWB which I got from Chris and Dan November 2015. Will be there on Sunday but on the Italian Replica Club stand, which was only across form the Tribute owners stand last year so will look in and say hello. Trev
1 Apr 2019, 7:37pm
I'm flying in from Barcelona for this one and staying with a mate in Leicester. Looking forward to seeing the Tribute 250 SWB Coupe and Cobra's in the flesh for the first time:dance:
26 Apr 2019, 7:17pm
Hi guys.
Really Looking forward to meeting many new faces of stoneleigh


we're just about ready and we will be in exhibition Hall 2 with a red SWB replica

sadly the coupe replicas not ready yet as have been too busy with customer cars but will keep the website updated as and when new cars coming...

we just finished a Cobra in lapis blue and and to 250 Coupe for a customer that was a partial rebuild with full upgraded interior. A real beauty in grigio Mahmoud...

Have a look at website as their going on there tonight...

Ps.. very excited....first exhibition so go gentle on us!

Justin from grass banks who makes the clever electric windows rear screen and other clever modern items
will actually have a coupe on his stand which i believe he will be selling so do go have a look at that if no coupe in owners area.
He's a great guy and very knowledgeable.
Look forward to meeting you all
26 Apr 2019, 8:08pm
Thanks for that info, the main reason I am going to Stoneleigh is to look at 250 Coupes so it sounds like the Grassbank one will fit the bill to have a nose around!
26 Apr 2019, 8:15pm
perfect.
he's a good guy. we are taking orders for the kits for all variants of tribute products at stoneleigh as we're tributes sales chaps now.
if you decide to buy, or want to know lead times etc you know where we are ��
27 Apr 2019, 8:19pm
I’m going on Sunday, looking forward to meeting you guys. I’m building an swb 250.
27 Jul 2019, 2:23pm
Hi, whatever happened to our get togethers?
Anybody planning one before the summer ends?

Tribute Owners Club event August 17th

[SIZE="4"]Belle & Ian at Classic Coachworks say that they are now looking after the owners Club and I emailed Belle yesterday asking about events.

Anyone know a south central area pub for a Saturday lunch say August 17th / drive perhaps followed by a tea stop later ? The Pelican Inn on the A4 at Froxfield west of Hungerford has two large car parks and a reasonable menu.

Tea at the Silk Mill in Whitchurch [east of Andover] or the Longstock Farm shop cafe North of Stockbridge

http://www.pelicaninn.co.uk/index.htm

https://leckfordestate.co.uk/the-cafe

https://whitchurchsilkmill.org.uk/[/SIZE]

Who could email other owners ?
31 Jul 2019, 6:02pm
Could you make it the weekend after ?
31 Jul 2019, 6:39pm
It’s Grim up North��
31 Jul 2019, 10:31pm
[SIZE="5"]Surely Saturday 24th is the BANK holiday weekend - so rather unattractive on the roads, plus pubs and tea shops will be busier . . .

Saturday 31st possible

otherwise September 7th then we are into late September early October

if little support for August 17th then suggest we go for Saturday Sept 7th or perhaps Sunday 8th . . .

Feedback please[/SIZE].
31 Jul 2019, 11:19pm
Probably best to announce a date and run with it. It isn't possible to please everyone !
Put my name down and I'll do my best to be there.
