Miglia speedster
Hi
New member.
Very interested in possibly building a Miglia speedster.
I've spoken to Chris Welch at Tribute who was exceptionally helpful and also honest and practical in answering my queries.
He has advised me however that although he can supply the body etc for the build, he cannot currently supply the frame which sits on the chassis to support the body.
It has been suggested that possibly a Formosa 120 GR frame could be adapted, but I have been unsuccessful in contacting Gary Janes on the mobile shown on the internet.
Does anybody know where a frame can be obtained elsewhere and also a contact number for Gary Janes so that option can also be explored?
Also Chris advised there were one or two issues with the body as it currently is supplied notably the rear nearside wheel arch not being centred etc and I believe one or two other matters.
Could any of the members give some guidance on quite how much of a problem this is given that I may be attempting the work myself and have limited skills with regard to bodywork.
I gather Dave Cymru is the man on this so any input from Dave would also be appreciated.
I was most impressed with Rattler's car which he sold relatively recently and would be looking to achieve similar results, along the lines of the Lancia D24.
If there are any members contemplating selling an already built Miglia, which would enable me to fettle same to my requirements I would certainly also consider that.
Finally I have yet to see a Miglia Speedster in the flesh!
I am in Hertfordshire but happy to travel.
Are there any shows coming up which will definitely have any Miglias on display or any other suggestions appreciated.
I look forward to any feedback.
