hi mike good to meet up,looks like its all ok
as for the other thing you spoke about ?yes it would be good to do something together on the spitfire\dont fancy the z3 though?
i like older stuff for the older look .
not modern.
maybe we can take that idear on the spit further?
see you in a month clive

Hi clive , nice doing buisness with Rob and your self. Will be a good move for all of us. Yes the Bmw z3 and many Modern cars all have the Wrong screen and the complete wrong angle to work with the 50s style i was after. But as a retro style
take on a 50s design works for some people. Anyway we can talk on the spitfire stuff when you get back from your holiday mate. Have a great time.

Greetings from Canada. I see your Miglia kit is designed to fit a Triumph Herald, but would it also fit a Spitfire like this one, eh? http://cgi.ebay.ca/ebaymotors/1963-TRIUMPH-SPITFIRE-4-DOCUMENTED-RESTORATION-WEBER-CARB-W-FIREBALL-IGNITION-/390742820164?pt=US_Cars_Trucks&hash=item5afa164544&forcev4exp=true Maybe I can cut it down aboot 2000mm in the cockpit area? Too costly to ship to Canada?

I meant 200mm, buddy.

Good Morning, The Miglia also fits a spitfire . The difference is taken out of the
scuttle . You still keep the vents, doors, and bonnet. Send me your address and i will find out the costs for you.

Kind Regards Mike

Good Morning Mike.

Thank you for your reply. Can you give me a price to send a kit to my daytime address:

CMH Association
1110-151 Slater Street
Ottawa, ON K1P 5H3

Aboot how long for to make a kit, eh?

I forgot my password already, so have a new name!! What a hoser I am, eh.

Quick question buddy, what is the difference in the "Navigater" and the shorter "miglia", eh? Is it just the bonnet? They are both based on the Siptfire, eh?

I want to add a picture to a message but it's not working, how do I do it,eh?

Am I being Stupid, probably am, but wouldn't a milia wit a shortened front end be a Navigator with abonnet? Or a pilot/spider with a short rear end? Im confused.com

I have just bouught a unfinished Sammio spider to finish, so this forum is going to be loadsa help, I hope. The engine, herald 1200 is shot, anyone on here got a spare?Cheers Barry

Welcome to the Sammio experience Barry. What state of build is your Spyder at? Would love to see some photos an you'll get plenty of advice on here with any aspect of the build process. Oh, and don't mention the Miglia/Ribble issues, it's a long story that's covered on another thread nearby.

Barry , whereabouts are you in the U.K. ? I have a free and turning 1300 engine and box here in Dorset for £50.
Failing that , try the Spitfire breakers , theres a link to them in the useful info thread on here in the sticky section.
i think there is breakers in Devon or Cornwall , Marlborough nr. Swindon , Sheffield area and probably more.

My spider is nearly done. Runnin and driving but engine rattles and smokes. I will take some pics. I must have missed the ribble/milia problem(?) no wonder im confused.com. Glad I bought mine cheap couldnt aford £2k for a kit.

Thanks for the offer onthe engine im in Shitterton Dorset. Can I get your phone number please

hi el/p if barry dosent buy your engine i would like too rattler

Pictures of a Spitfire based Miglia please . I cannot find anything on the www. other than you mentioning them as being available.
