hola from spain

19 Oct 2015, 7:59am
Hi I'm from Spain, I am determined to build a Renault 4 car kit based, in Spain
is the only thing that I can work (also 2CV, but very little power?,.My
base is a Renault 4 1100cc, but can put a 1400cc 75hp engine, I need to
know if the kit is valid in my case, I guess the tubular structure may not
be used if designed for Triumph but I have no problems with construction a
new frame .
I'm looking at options kit, I tried to contact ribble kits but email is wrong, as I can contact ??

Miilor - Ribble Kits have closed down, even though the "Sammio" website still looks open.

Micky1Mo is the new owner of the Sammio brand and his company is called Replica Rides.
( I believe both the Sammio name and website will be re-used in the future. )

Contact details here:

There is some information about plans for future kits here:

But I couldn't tell you if either the old Sammio Spyder kit, or the 2CV version are still available.

Although I do know that the Sammio Cordite / Ribble Navigator is definitely not available.

Sorry if that is a bit vague, but hope it helps.

Good luck, Paul. :)

PS
I don't know much about using a Renault 4 as a base either. :rolleyes:

But I do know that you can make some drastic changes to the body work in order to make it fit.
