barry please do not use my thread for your personal vendetta it is bad manners .your time would be better spent building your car .please stop. rattler

the same goes for you pj rattler

Good evening Dave , cant be helped , as you can see you always get the tossers on these forums. Glad your car is getting closer to completion mate.

Dont worry about then two, one day they will get tired and get a life.

hi mike will ring you in the morning need a favour rattler

Ok Dave speak tommorow.

Race ready Miglia -

All finished and ready to go to Bressuire GP...

That is really, really nice. Some more pictures would be brilliant.

Miglia France

More picts - pre race day....

will do having probs d/l pics rattler

ooh, pretty :-)

I like that

Really Nice!
The surprise for me is that aero-screens have turned out rather well! I'd always liked them as an item but I wasn't convinced they suited the Sammio/Ribble design, they do seem to suit the Miglia a bit better (IMHO and i know others may disagree)

Also i love that dashboard where it carries on down at the sides. That idea may have to be tried on mine

Very smart!!! that grille really works

Great looking car Young Dave, i hope you have fitted an ash try .

Good luck with the race, and kit sales mate. Paintwork looks the part too.

great looking car rattler, please more photos, so I can pinch some ideas ??????

hi very busy getting car ready we are taking a sammio/miglia/and a 1930 riley 9/been a right bas///////// midnight and just got it running pic over w/e hopefully rattler

Rattler - Your car looks amazing Dave, you must be very happy.





The attention to detail in the cockpit is amazing and doesn't give any clues that this is a kit.

Good luck with the race and enjoy the car, Paul.

PS
Is that leather underneath the aero screens?

Nice job Rattler, and good race

Rear Roll Hoop Bars



Hi Dave,
I am new on the forum. Followed your build and saw this picture of the Sammio or Tribute with rear roll hoops. Are they added during the build (if it is Sammio) or did they came with the donor (if it is BMW based Tribute) please?
Thanks.

Deni - That blue car is a modified Sammio Spyder, based on a Triumph Herald.

There is a partial build thread here:

http://www.madabout-kitcars.com/forum/showthread.php?t=3196

But it was last seen sporting a tail fin, without any roll bars.



So the roll bars are definitely a later addition.

Hope that helps, Paul.

PS
Just to clarify the Tribute side of things…

Tribute have taken over the production of the Miglia Speedster which is also Triumph Herald based.
( I'm still not sure if a Spitfire based version of the Miglia will also be available. )

The Tribute range that use BMW Z3s as their base are:
- Kobra
- Z300S
- 250 SWB

So there isn't actually a Sammio, or Miglia, styled car that is based on a BMW.
( Although Micky1Mo has fitted a BMW engine to a Herald based Sammio. )

Rear Roll Hoop Bars

Hi Paul,

I thought those hoops are a great idea and tried to find the info, but didn't get far, so thank you very much for your reply and the build thread link. Also, thanks for the clarification re Tribute kit models.

Cheers, Deni
