Ahhh finally I can log in and post! 
Over the last year or so I've been looking into these kits. Ferrari is closing down manufacturers of them as often as they can.
There are about four producers still working in America, the best being this kit.
They can export to the UK (basically, you select a port and they work out all the shipping costs etc... then you go down to the port and pick it up).
I doubt its going to be cheap! (but I'm sure its a fraction of the cost of a real 250GTO)
Good luck!

I don't think that kits being produced in Holland any more. It would be great if it was (and a hell of a lot cheaper to import!)
There was a great article in the first issue of Octane on the 250GTO. One was sold in the late 80s for £7million. They estimate their price at something scary that I forget now, but for normal people a body kit is the closest we'll ever get to such a lovely car!

As far as I can remember he bought the kit in the States. He wrote an article in our magazine sometime ago. It didn’t go smooth, that’s what I recall. And now he sold the car or not but he wanted to get rid of it.
the best GTO replica i saw was in the begining of vanila sky with tom cruise and it was in black .if you get a chance check it out and see if i am wrong i know its not much help but if you was to get your hands on one you could try and put it on one of them cars in flims agency type things and make some extra money

Kevin Irons of Samuri Conversions built and raced a 250GTO replica. I'm sure he'd be happy to offer some advice.

Well, Peter Dekker (Holland) has sold his GTO begin this year. If you have questions about the kit he loves to answer them. This is his mail address. ptr1968@yahoo.com
That Samuri/Piranha body kit would be close enough, if it's available. There are more details I would want to modify like a 100 mm longer wheelbase and rear window.
The highest price a 250 GTO sold for were US$14,000,000.-- A Japanese businessman paid the money in November 1989. He later sold it for US$2,600,000.-- in August 1994. A price drop that would make it into Guiness book of records.

I saw Kevin Irons at Billing this year. Unfortuantely other commitments has meant that he's not as active with Z's as he used to be but Im sure he'd be happy to give some guidance on this subject as he used to offer to build 250 GTO replica's. I do not have his e-mail address but his tel. no. is 01604-844772. Good luck !

the other jap express on the front cover / featured in this months Retro ..is my old car, owned in 1998...a mitsubishi Lancer ex2000 turbo...
...although now/since somewhat altered to make it a not road legal trackday
....current ex2000 is an ex-Brodie Britten Racing development car
...is in Retro next month along with other Lancer owners...
sits quite nicely next to my 260Z...they are coincidentally
a similar colour
