NOT SURE THATS COMPLETELY TRUE....
You may be jumping the gun a little ...there have been some complications but probably a bit early to comment...

Hi everyone,
Just a quick message to tell you what has happened to the Tribute GT Coupe.
After a very busy Stoneleigh Show the demo car went back into the workshop for some more development and finishing with it's next appearance booked in at Newark Show. Due to my wife being very ill in the weeks before Newark I made the last minute choice not to make the trip to the show even though the car was ready. A wise choice as it turned out.
On the opening morning of the show I received a letter from Bentley Motors Limited solicitor requesting the immediate halt to production of the Tribute GT. I have had to comply with their requests, as you can imagine a company of their size can be quite persuasive.
So, unfortunately I cannot now offer the kit for sale, sorry to all the people who showed some very genuine interest. The demo car is currently under going some changes to lights and bodywork to alter it's appearance, before being sold in the next few weeks.
The whole experience should have put me off the whole kit car thing, but it hasn't. The Tribute website will be up and running again shortly with updates/details of another project car. I will start a new thread when I have something to show everyone.
Regards
Chris Welch
