Tribute Automotive Z300S Kit Car from the UK based on a BMW Z3.

Right again.

Recognised the Z3 windscreen and top, as the Z3 isn't a bad looking car I have no idea why you would want this kit unless yours had had a collision and needed repair?
-
Although I'm personally not a fan of the Z3's looks, it is a darn sight better than this body kit. I was there at Exeter last October when the Z300S was unveiled, and there was a faint gasp of surprise/shock! It's a shame really, as the concept to rebody a Z3 and give it a more retro look is quite inspired.

I thought it ended up more TVR than Italian retro myself.
-
I had seen a Z3 kit for a Miata (MX5) before, but this looks like a Miata (MX5) kit for a Z3.

That's exactly what I thought and I was very disappointed not see anyone ask if it was a TVR!

Z300S
OK, I'll give you that since it does say that on one website.
On another it appeared it was meant to be a Ferrari GTO convertible (!); the slats rear of the wheel-arches give the game away...!
Not that the Ferrai GTO was from the '50s, but I think it's very loose replica!
Very good.

Well it does say that on the manufacturers website, so I thought it would be the most accurate source...

Ah - I knew I'd seen it but I couldn't remember where!

The maker of this car is Tribute Automotive, and the model name is Z300S, which should be mentioned in the subject heading I guess. Thanks.

The other end.
-
Tribute Automotive was brave/stupid enough to recently display one of these on its stand at a kit car show, proudly wearing Maserati badges! I suspect they may be hearing from some Italian lawers very soon :(
-
Wasn't it tribute who did the same with a Bentley replica and got shut that kit shut down a few years ago?
