Miglia Spyder

[fifties fan]

Just ordered a Migila Speedster kit and now looking for a suitable donor . So , basically , hello everyone

[mikmiglia]

Nice to meet you Pete.

And it looks like you friend has just payed his deposit for one too.

So many thanks for your custom and selling the other kit.:thumb:

Welcome to the nut house and best of luck with the build :)

[fifties fan]

thank you for the welcome.
Mike , thanks for giving us the time today to go through it all. I bet you thought we were never going to go ! it was great to see a finished body and one being made , gives me the confidence on the layup etc. As I was saying to you earlier I bought a Banham 550 kit years ago and it was shockingly bad. the fiberglass had so many voids in it , yours look fantastic.
it was a long drive down from Blackburn but worth it.
Roland said on the way back he was going to give it some thought - didn't take him long did it ? He only came along to keep me company !

Well hi there Fifties Fan. Congratulations on setting out on the path to true enlightenment.

What we all like on this forum is lots of photographs and endless trivial details about how the build's going, so make sure you budget some time to keep all your new friends updated on progress :)

What are you planning - engine/colour/interior, etc? I started with a fairly clear idea in my head of what I wanted - a six pot fusion of German Silver Arrow and Italian thoroughbred - and ended up building this

Good luck with finding a suitable donor and I look forward to seeing some fast progress on another fifties inspired racer. :thumb:

Mister Towed. I have been reading about your build . I have been guesting on here for a little while before registering , doing my homework so to speak.
you have created a great little car.
not sure of colour etc yet , was going to maybe do a dark red/ light maroon , Maserati type colour with tan interior but its early days.

oooh that's purty. that's the sort of colour yes. what is that? a 200 / 300s ? any other pictures? I am google imageing everything at the moment , can't decide on a complete plan at present. just keep seeing things and thinking , I like that ! Any Migila's in other colours on here?

Any Migila's in other colours on here?

not yet, Red seems to be the "in-thing" for a 32000 euros car! :ohwell:

I quite fancy the Aston Martin blue that is on a G-46 in this forum. :hail:
That is probably what I will end up with...

Hey Mike - can I order the Maserati grille please :thumb:

[mikmiglia]

Not a problem , Silver or Black powder coated ??

[mikmiglia]

What about like a light cream grill to go with the Navy body work . That could work .

It's a 300S, one of three that were running at Snetterton at the end of September. Great day out for us Norfolk Spyder owners with Phil J, Barry and I all making the journey together, and loads of inspiring cars in the pits.
