Once upon a time ...
Found this picture I haven't seen before of S*mmio Numero Uno ....The car that started it all ......
http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y18...pyder_01_1.jpg Weirdly , the unpopular ' German front ' has grown on me a bit and doesn't look as bad as I remember .... |

I still think it's ugly!

...needs to be seen from different angles for best effect -

I love that colour by the way ...very Astonian and that picture shows it very well ...That car had a heat formed M&W 550 Screen fitted which was a nice piece of kit but a bit pricey at around £130 from memory ...I am looking at heat formed screens for the next one and Chris at Tribute has pointed me towards someone who can do it for me ... |
It does grow on you the longer you look. If you kiss it does it turn into a Austen Princess ?
I may have mixed loads of metaphors there ..... |
no not for me ugly ....were is that car now ......colour very aston... that was at le mans ,....years ago its the car that started me on this road...
|
Wish I knew where it was Phil ...I'd like a shot at buying it back ..it's been Sorned since 2011 , so it's sitting somewhere unloved ...
It was an early car , with the slightly different chassis and had a Spitfire engine fitted ... It was very crude as it was my experimental car and had some non-production features ... |

I still think that the mk1 bonnet had a lot of potential - just a few days ago I came across a mock up I did of the 'german' bonnet with the headlights set back a few inches and covered with perspex...

That's an interesting pic Alpha ...
I played with skirted rear wheels originally ... http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y18.../nickr1005.jpg |
Better front with the faired in lights, reminds me of the Le Mans Spitfire -
http://i1301.photobucket.com/albums/...psdsrpqhl4.jpg http://i1301.photobucket.com/albums/...pstfefvczg.jpg Not keen on the spats though, so I've, erm, photoshopped (whatever that is) a mock up of a more classic design for the Sammio, which could work - http://i1301.photobucket.com/albums/...ps21f9dc5c.jpg You could even scale it down and sell it as a biscuit tin... |
I have one in red...
