Any new miglia builders out there?

I know that winter can be quiet for builds, but It's getting a bit lonely in here.

Are there any new builders out there who are just lurking atm?
Or anyone who's about to build?
or even pondering building a Miglia?

It'd be good to see/hear what others are up-to, even if you're only at the day dreaming phase and want to share your fag-packet drawings of your dream Lambo V12 powered Miglia

Hello Dave,
I am a dreamer at the moment

. I'm currently living in south west France and have around 1 months work to finish our house and then it's going on the market. When it sells

we are moving back to blighty and then I will be in a position to start my build. I have very specific ideas but mainly I am going to build a no expense spared non make specific car that will look like a 50's original that has been completely restored to the highest standard. I would love to fit a v6 from an Alfa Romeo but I'm not sure if the spitfire drive train will take the power so?. I hope to one day meet all the great people I have been reading about on this forum and be able to go on a drive maybe!!.
Good luck with the rest of your build it is looking really good.

Hi Dave,
been out of the scene for some while. As you and a few others know my past troubles, but we met at Stoneleigh when I collected my Sammio frame from Gary. Well fast forward, and had two moves since then, MOT tester training passed, and now time to get going. Spoke to Mike over eighteen months ago, but things have been so up and down financially but now need to get going. Definitely want to go the Miglia route, so hoping to speak to Mike with some money very soon. Unless anyone has a spare body going cheap. Good luck mate, and keep in touch.
