Sammio/ribble the next chapter

I'm sure a few existing builders would be happy to provide a testimonial to the vfm aspect of the kit, plus a few pictures of course to show what's possible with a bit of imagination.

Good luck. :)

There are some nice photos of finished Spyders in Posts #1, #7 & #11 of the "Useful info" sticky.

Good luck with sorting the moulds out, Paul. :)

just had a look on the web on this site

https://www.howmanyleft.co.uk/?q=triumph+vitesse

you can actually see how many its reduced by each year as well

VITESSE
1.4k
VITESSE 2-LITRE
17


Looking at the figures, these are possibly incorrect as I have three "Vitesse MKII 2-Litre" SORN'ed 1x 1968 and 2x 1969 but not showing on the data base!!!!!.

Hello,

Out of intrest,because you own a lot of Vitesses;do you(or anyone else)
have spare parts of these cars.
I am from Holland and over here Vitesse and GT6 are very rare,so spares are expensive.
I am looking for the so called vertcallinks rh/lh (front suspension) for a new project.

If you or someone else can help me please let me know through this forum.

g 46

Hi
I saw a picture of the G46 discovered it was based on a single doner and tried to contact Ribble. Now I am starting to understand why I got no reply.

Is there anyone out there who is building one? I wait with interest to see if it will be possible to buy a kit in the future but I do want one!!

Hi Tony, the G-46 moulds are still in storage so will return in a much refined manor some time in the future, but don't hold you breath :ohwell:

Hi, I also want to place an order for the G46, somewhere in the spring of 2015. What do you thing, would that be possible?

Micky1mo, could you please reply on my question. Thank you!

I think mickymo is saying the moulds are in storage but will need a lot of work or even be remade before he can offer a body again

As I said the SAMMIO G-46 will be reworked and offered for sale at some point but I have to sort out the whole SAMMIO/RIBBLE mess first.
With what's going on I think it would be late 2015 before I can even look at the moulds so may-be 2016.
Also because of the investment required and the poor return rate I would need at least 6 firm orders with deposits paid just to under take the project. .:eusa_think:
So again don't hold your breath :icon_sad:

We could be interested in selling our G46 if you can't get one.
