The car and garage appears in the gallery on the old Sammio, and the current Ribble websites.

I wish there were pics of the engine bay and interior.

We saw this car at Detling Kit Car show last year he also had a pale blue spyder as well, I think they are privately built and I have to say to a very high standard, nice chap very helpful as we had just bought the G46 when we bumped into him.

More pictures have now been added. Interior looks nicely made but the seating position could be a bit high with the backs upright against the bulkhead.

I think that is an inertia reel seat belt being used as a bonnet stop.

The plumbing in of the header tank looks a bit..... different, but no less effective!

Or maybe just a bargain waiting to be snapped up?

That's a steal for 66!

Yes, but why?

I think they missed a zero off the price. £7,500 sounds more like it. (Though try contacting him as letting him know there's £750 cash waiting and see what he says!

Would have been there in a shot if I was back in the UK, AndyP57 and any news on the frame yet, pictures please. Still OK for the 13th and 20th May (Collection).

Just had an email back from the seller and the price is correct, shame is he is currently awaiting a deposit, for that kind of Money me and the trailer would have been going on a road trip!

There must be more to this than is initially apparent. He could have asked twice as much and still sold it as quick. Perhaps it's a random act of kindness to help somebody onto the Sammio ladder.
