Ikon , having seen Sammio , Miglia and Ribble bodies , I can tell you that they all need a bit of straightening out if you are looking for perfection.
The original Sammio bodies are fairly basic and not particularly symmetrical. They were cheap and did the job. The cars look great.
The Ribble versions are better. The Spitfire based one is the better of the two having had work carried out to straighten it out.
The Miglia is better than the Sammio. It is a Cordite body with a longer bonnet basically. Miglia have straightened them out a lot over the original but they still need work .
I believe all 3 bodies have sloping rear deck panels. It is disguised by the headrest fairing
Wheel arches are all a bit wobbly and not completely rounded and so on.
It would be easy to get caught up in the aim for perfection . I think its best to build to a decent standard , accept the shortcomings of all 3 of them , they are all priced low end at the end of the day , and enjoy your car.
