Always have the yellow/white plates in the boot. If you get stopped ( unlikely) then it's "Sorry officer, I was at a car show and I forgot to change my plates back" Hopefully a wrapped knuckle and on your way. They're probably more interested in looking at your stunning car than doing you for...

Yes you are allowed to use older plates on any car. What you cannot do is have plates that make the car appear newer than it actually is.

It does depend on what you build and to what quality you build. I know from experience that they can command much more than the cost to build.

For me it was well worth it. I sold my first 250 California in 2021 (built in 2016-2018) and then after 6 months I regretted selling. So now I have built another one, almost identical but actually much better than the first. I learned so much that I was able to make vast improvements the second...

If you want to build a 250 California to a high standard, expect it to cost you in excess of £30k and that's without any shipping or taxes. It might even be a lot more because a LHD Z3 donor is not cheap in Europe like they are here.

Correct. I have decided to replace the springs to get it to sit a fraction lower. Eibach Pro lowering springs, 30mm.

I like that.

Thanks. Passed with no advisories. Two other Ferraris in today. One for MOT and the grey one is the garage owner's California. He had to get his out and put them side by side! Tax from Thursday then off we go for the summer 😎😎

Heading off for the MOT after finally completing a 2 year build. I changed the number plates back to legal for the MOT, and removed the headlight domes and rings so that the lights can be adjusted correctly.

Bank manager or Heather??

I put the PCB here.

There is just enough space and if you wrap the PCB in some insulating material it will be protected from any possible shorting.

My own experience is guided by the way that DNA did it. On my first build I stripped the PCB part out of the cluster and connected into the various wires to drive the ETB instruments. I then insulated the PCB and found a place above the crash bar behind the speedo/tacho location that it would...

Yes within reason. You couldn't use the F word though.

The number has been changed but it is still registered as a BMW Z3. For the kind of money they expect it should be registered correctly as a 250 California.

😂🤣

I have a pair available. 20mm. Jez

Yes I have used Mustang handles on my 250 California but only have the remote central locking. I do also have a Grassbanks boot lock kit which uses the original Z3 solenoid and boot lock. This means I have mechanical access to the boot using the Z3 key. The key also operates both the door locks...

Yes it's Steve's. That's the beauty of building our own cars. We can all choose our own preferences and each one is unique.
