THAT LOOKS QUITE SWEET ...Nice grille ...I could live without the badge , but I like the insert ..exhaust looks neat too ...good level of finish by the looks of it ...I bet those Land Rover swabs are hard ....

Hi Gary, thanks for that, if by swabs you mean the seats (apologies if not) their the original herald ones re-covered in fresh leather (to match the dash) with heater pads in the base and back, so their sprung and quite comfy actually. cheers, jason

Oh ok ...apologies ... I assumed they were Landy swabs which are really harsh ..
Herald seats with heater pads ...like it .

Very pretty car ...

26th July 2017, 09:38
Thanks for the positive messages and comments! It's a herald 1200 donor and we kept it all original in case we fell foul of DVLA but as that's all agreed now i've also got a 2.5l straight six engine and a 2.0l with an overdrive box and a set of disc brakes we're just thinking about, but as the car draws so much attention and drives well I cant decide whether to bother! We went to town on the chassis a bit before galvanizing and reinforced the back and sides with box section to stiffen her up more. I'll try to get some more pictures on as we built her, cheers, Jason

26th July 2017, 16:52
My customer , Graham had his side rails replaced with box sections during the restoration process ...its a sensible modification and DVLA allow these areas to be boxed for strength without it affecting the points system ...

PS
Quick question from me… What is the big black 'box' on the passenger side for?

My first thought was spare wheel, but couldn't see a way to access it from your dash photos.
jayporter
27th July 2017, 07:27
Your right Paul it is the spare wheel, it's held up behind the dash on the passenger side above their legs, we tried different idea's in that area and this one gave the most clearance all round so stuck at that. cheers, jason

Hi Jay,

I like the solution for the spare wheel location - I might try to do the same. Also, the rear side of the car looks great. What is the remaining length of the back outriggers after you've shortened them please (including the bar you have welded on)? Is there space in between the body and the bar, or is the bar attached/bonded to the rear side of the body somehow?

Thank you.
Cheers, Deni

Hi Patrick, I made the grill myself, it was a bit painstaking but kept trying it in the hole as I shaped it to make sure it fitted snugly so it's a one off really.
Hi Deni, I'll get under the car later and measure the outriggers as i can't remember the length, cheers for all the positive comments and messages guys.

...Hi Deni, I'll get under the car later and measure the outriggers as i can't remember the length, cheers for all the positive comments and messages guys.

Hi Jay,

No worries, let me know when you've had a chance to check it please.

Cheers, Deni

18th August 2017, 12:37
Hi Deni, the outriggers are 300mm from the edge of the lip on the cross member (325mm overall) with a 100 x 60 x 4mm box 800mm long welded across the ends, it ends up just inside the body shell on mine, hope that helps.

Patrick, when I made my grille it was a labour of love as it took quite a while and I haven't really got enough spare time to make another and my galvanizers and powder coaters did it as a favour for me as we send them quite a bit of work, so the cost would end up quite high pal as the chrome powder isn't cheap, sorry. cheers.

Hi Deni, the outriggers are 300mm from the edge of the lip on the cross member (325mm overall) with a 100 x 60 x 4mm box 800mm long welded across the ends, it ends up just inside the body shell on mine, hope that helps.

Hi Jay,
Thank you mate, much appreciated.

Regards, Deni

Hi Jay,

I'm doing some work preparing a Vitesse chassis to accept a Miglia body at present and can confirm that the rear outriggers need to be trimmed down to / or replaced with a section approx a foot long too ...I have also tied the two together with a piece of angle iron across the rear ..they are quite vulnerable in their standard format ...

Seems to be creeping up quite nicely ....

The phrase ''Bespoke one off with custom shell'' made me smile .... Reminds me of my old mate Ricky Battistini who used to run Battistini's Custom Motorcycles before he emigrated to the States to initially work for Arlen Ness ..he did a range of bikes called the ''One of a kind series'' !! :icon_lol:

Cheers Paul, ebay screwed us really, the first ad had 4k+ views 400 watchers and 27 different bidders pushing it up nicely but then ebay received a complaint that we'd put "NOT FERRARI" in the title off some (insert expletive) and cancelled the auction then when we re-listed we did it wrong but hey ho. apparently its against ebay regs to put a brand name in the header if they didn't make it, which is crazy as there's 000's on ebay right now listed as ferraris, lambo's and lancia's that are exactly the same, kits. Its a bit annoying but what can you do, there's a few people emailing asking to come viewing so we'll see what happens.

Only just catching up on the forum and saw yuo've put the car up for sale. I'm really sorry to hear that, but totally understand that these things happen, so i wish you all the best with the sale and especially with the-bay-of-e and their interesting rules!

I was aware that Ferrari don't take kindly to knock-off's and do tend to occasionally chase and close replica auctions!

Ebay have a team that flag up incorrect termanology in adverts as well ...it's not always a complaint , they do action a few removals themselves . I think you should re-list it going down a similar route to Towed ...maybe not so long !! but the route of 'Special build' Its no secret that the words 'S*mmio' and 'Miglia' can hold values back a bit sometimes ....
