Look forward to seeing your progress. What base model are you using this time? Will it be another outdoor build on the drive? Colour?
Froggyman, the donor is a '72 1360 Herald, and I have a 1500 spitfire engine to go in this time. A bit lighter than the straight 6 and a with a bit of tweaking should go nicely. 15" wire wheels again, and adding in a set of BMW E36 pedals with built in clutch master cylinder and linked to a servo that will be mounted in the passenger side engine bay.
A few little other mods along the way - you know me by now - and aiming to get it on the road by May!
Hi just an update on the miglia speedster.
I will be adding a build blog to my web site , to allow all customers to add pictures, and to see and share ideas with each other on their builds.
Also i will add a picture build to my web site, this will allow you to see the method from the chassis up build of the kit, and will answer all general questions that may well be asked.
This should make life alittle easier for you fast build process.
News!!"Miglia Speedsters new teardrop bonnet ...
Hi just completed the new bonnet which is offered as standard with all kits.
The other bonnet option with the bonnet vent is also available , to get around the height if your dropping a v8 into your chassis. They both work with your standard four cylinder triumph engine.
When ordering , please state the bonnet of your choice.
i know that he put it up for 12,500 Euros and he was using most of my original advert text to sell it, so it must have been the fact that it went through the TUV that made a difference! Good on him i say!
Blimey!
