Just double checking the numbers, they have given the 10% discount on the old A3 pricing, so really worth buying this week.
Plus with the 5% for up front payment it is a big discount from the standard price of £279.

With the additional 5% discount but, adding £10 for shipping, my total came to £222.80 - a saving of £56! Not to be sneezed at fer sure; unless you have a cold of course 🤧

Anyone else thinking about ordering, only 2 days left to get the discounted price !?

Please follow the link for your chosen size ASAP. Ta.
 
I gave 'Black Art Graphics' a call today to see how things were progressing. They haven't yet found a GR86 for the specialist photoshoot (Southampton, Lymington, Portsmouth etc) plus, they also need some good calm weather (as a 10m pole is used for the overhead shots) to progress with the project and make the journey to the mainland worthwhile.
Our orders are still on the books but, sitting more on the back-burner for the moment, as the (two) guys are currently moving studios whilst also chasing a large high-end contract.
So, patience is the key factor here methinks as we likely won't see our orders for some time to come. Good things come to those who wait?

I spoke with Dan yesterday. If the weather is OK this weekend (17th) I am planning to drive down to Southampton to allow him to do the photography.
I will confirm once the photo shoot has gone ahead.

Hi All,
Quick update, we've rescheduled the reference shoot for a week today (23rd) due to some logistical issues.
Short of terrible weather there shouldn't be any reason for things not to process next week.
Thank you for your patience.

Hi guys, Dan from Black Art Graphics here.

Thank you to everyone that has got involved with the GR86 group buy, just signing in to keep you guys updated and answer any questions anyone might have about the products, process etc.

Will share some images of the artwork as it starts coming together too.

Good evening All.
After a couple of false starts due to bad weather, met Dan on Saturday to have the reference photos take 😃

The email I sent today to their ‘[email protected]’ address (as listed on the webpage) bounced back from the server as ‘email address does not exist’. Tried twice with two different email accounts with the same result. Hoping it’s only a technical glitch 🤞🏻.
I might make a phone call enquiry after the Bank Holiday is done.

Do you think we'd be able to get t-shirts (or the file so we can get them ourselves) when we get the final plaque?

Sad I know, but the thought appeals to my child-like mind...

When I met Dan he did mention they are planning to offer none personalised car Blueprint on mugs etc.
So I would imagine T-shirts and hoodies might also be on offer.

Exchanged text messages with Dan last night.
The artwork is now complete, he will shortly send out the personalised proofs to each buyer to check their details.
Aiming to send you a copy of our proofs for approval this week. :)

Got my proof today too. Asked for two amendments (engine name as FA24 instead of FA20) and a spelling correction in the tyre section)

No laser just now for me 🤓

Only minor error I saw was the steering Ratio, 13.1:1 on the artwork, but press release I have states 13.5:1.
Happy to bow to someone's greater knowledge.

Not sure how it works, whether our request alter the Master artwork or only our specific prints.

Dan has said error like the Engine one you spotted will be altered on the Master artwork, so will be corrected for all our prints.
Good spot 🙌
