I think there are some items from the first weave still available such as Picnic rugs and Scarfs, if any of your members might be interested but I would have to go and see what is left, not very much if I recall.
It has come up a couple of times about doing another weave and it might be interesting to see if there would be interested people around the world to make it all happen!
Happy to hear any thoughts on it

Yes, although I don't know of any specific MOPAR tartans. For years the Morgan Motor Company has offered "Morgan" tartan rugs (blankets to those of you in the USofA). Similar to Black Watch, I believe it is a variant of MacKay.
The Morgan car company holds the unique distinction of being the ONLY car manufacturer in the UK which is 100% British owned. The chairman of the company is Charles Morgan, grandson of HSF Morgan, founder of the firm. This year the Morgan Motor Company celebrates its centenary, while last week end the Morgan Car Club of Washington DC celebrated its fiftieth anniversary here in Staunton, Virginia.

I am also a proud owner of an MX-5. I would be interested in another run, but our 9-day old daughter may have something to say about the budget (yes, I did notice this is an old thread).

Hello Iain,
My business partner (and fiance), Kelly, has a Miata and she's also a kiltmaker. She's been after 13 oz wool material in the MX5 tartan, so if you are up for another run of fabric, count us in! If you'd prefer, we can have the material woven for you.
If you DO have any other items available (scarves, rugs, etc), please let me know!
