Hey mike got any photo's yet of the 4 speedsters your building for the German chap?. Also I'm desperate to see some photo's of a spitfire with your speedster body fitted as I think when I get around to building a car I would like to use a gt6 as my doner. will this work?

I think some pictures of current projects ( like Ribble posted last week ) will be a great PR lift for yourself and your company.
The German cars - are they LHD or RHD ?
Has the shortened Spitfire version retained good proportions?

Sorry for the delay , i will get some picture s up in the next day or so .
The new Spitfire body i think hasn't lost any of the Longer front , its worked out very nicely
indeed. With its integrated dash giving strength, and allowing the customers choice of style of trimming.
We also supply a metal frame as like we do with its bigger brother, and also comes with Grp dropped floor pans as standard.
You will in a standard kit
>Get one piece body shell
> Bonnet and doors doors
> Screen and frame
> Grp dropped floor pans
> Bolt on to chassis frame , to take a standard Triumph spitfire fuel tank
and centre tunnel frame allowing position for hand brake.

All of this is standard with the kit and at costs of £1,850.

Hi Pj , yes i will get some shots up in the next day or so. The german cars are staying Rhd as asked.
I think the Spitfire version has worked out very well and still keeps its longer front .
sounds interesting. I am an open minded guy and would like to see the Spitfire version please as soon as you can , if you can.
How does the frame differ?
A shot or two of the frame would be good too.
Also , the German cars ? All LWB or some SWB ?
What I am asking Mike is could you spare me 10 mins. to take as many pictures as you can so I can get a good feel of your operation.
Please only pictures of your workshop and not your sprayshop.
Ribble Cars were kind enough to do this last week as requested and I feel I have a good idea of how they operate now.

Sorry, PJ, but from where I sit, you were instrumental in getting the Miglia and Sammio sections seperated. Not a bad thing, perhaps. But now, barely a day after it happened, you're stirring the shit again.
If you want photos from the Milgia operation, the I'm sure you will be obliged. But the paint shop digs, and the Ribble 'taunt' are unnecessary, provocative, and devisive.
If you want to, or are considering buying a Miglia kit, then you might want to build a relationship with them, which I am sure would pay off during your own build. If you only want to cause argument and unrest, then take it outside.
I have no axe to grind, and no loyalty one way or the other - like you, I have so far bought neither kit, although I am considering it. My point is that the past upheaval should remain in the past, and both parties should be judged by their current deeds. If you want to have a private conversation with Mike about his operation, then please keep it private, because your shit stirring risks doing his business no favours, and at the moment, you have no justification for behaving as you are on a public forum.
Barry , Mike is very busy at the moment with a whole load of stuff happening. I am sure he hasn't forgotten , just time is tight right now.
I read in an earlier posting you aren't far away and were considering a visit to Miglia anyway. Why don't you go see the project in the flesh ?
Well, having spoken with Mike it seems that my Spitfire based Miglia is almost ready, so I expect Mike will post pictures up in teh next few weeks. From that he will be able to guauge interest I imagine, with a view to possibly putting it into production.

It looks like it is already offered as a 'Short End' version on miklias eBay listing, so it must be finished by now. Developing photos at Boots can take a while I hear.
as my doner. will this work? 
these wouldn't be for a certain German chap who we both know would they?
