G46 No.1 for sale

31 Jan 2013, 5:02pm
I have decided to sell on my G46 that was being built to use as a demonstrator. I simply have not got the time to finish it and would prefer to see it go to a good home than see it sat in the corner of the workshop waiting for me to get around to it.

The car needs a good clean, get the engine running (It was running very well not too long ago but has recently had the carbs rebuilt so will probably need tunning up at the least) and an interior fitting.

Its not a weekend job to finish but its not a huge job either with a painted body on a solid donor (correctly registered as a Sammio G46). Its had a lot of work done and has probably cost me over £10k so far but I would be willing to listen to offers for less than half of that.

Good luck with the sale.
I had a good look at the car when it was down at Exeter and think it looked awsome. What is the future of the G46? Are you going to produce them or has the project been mothballed.

The plan was to continue to produce the kits and I think that it will sell well once No.1 is finished and can be used to advertise however between work commitments, other projects and life getting in the way im looking at several possibilities for the product.

1. Chris at Tribute has offered to run everything for me while I am away as I tend to work abroad in some not too nice places that dont have great lines of communication.
2. Try to run things myself, probably with Andys help.
3. Mothball it.
4. Sell it. It would be a great project for somebody that has a little time to put into it and could be a nice earner and Im sure Chris would extend his offer to anybody that buys it should they need.

To be honest I just want to do whats right by the Kit, Im just not sure what that is.

I think Tribute is the way to go, as he does get on with things and everyone seems happy, no complaints etc...

Agree that Tribute Automotive would be a great fit for this vehicle type..

Actually it wouldn't be too much of a jump in logic to suggest mikmiglia takes the G46 on.

Might kill two birds with one stone, in respect of the Spyder/Cordite/Miglia situation...
