Sammio Spyder related shops & suppliers
I started this project knowing very little about who to go to for what.
I'd browsed the Triumph forums and already knew of some kit car companies, but there wasn't one list of "if you want x then talk to y' specifically for us Sammio Spyder types. So now we've got our own little corner of the web i thought i'd make one :) So in no particular order, here's my starter for 10...

Bresco Vehicle Services I haven't used these yet but very impressed with the trim parts available, I am sure it will be good to know of them for those little bits we always break or lose.

I thought I'd add a note on here "bigging-up" Spitfire graveyard! (i forgot to mention originally, they do all triumph bits, not just Spitfire)
I'd ordered a complete set of replacement dials from them in the past and also a new inlet manifold and set of Strombergs and they were REALLY helpful on both cases and made sure that i had what i "needed" and not just what i'd asked for. Which gave me a lot of confidence in them. I had to ring them yesterday as whoever had my car before me had removed the old dials by simply cutting them out of the wiring loom, so i had no bulb holders! doh! I phoned Dave at Spitfire graveyard yesterday at just before 2pm, he had just what i wanted at a very reasonable price and at 9.20 this morning the package has turned up and he seems to have included some extra ones "just in case". Now that's the sort of service that deserves to get a man a good reputation and so i thought it was only fair to share my good experience! He's also vaguely aware of Sammios as i told him what i was up to. |
Found this site while trying to help someone find a chassis commision plate on another link. :ranger:
Looks to be a pretty useful site for us Sammio types. http://www.rarebits4classics.co.uk/Frameset.htm |
I will recommend...
www.quillertriumph.co.uk
I have emailed them asking if they can put a kit of parts together for me so i can start my build, they sound very helpful. I have found it a lot more difficult to get a triumph around this area... (Margate). :frusty: |

I paid £845 for my Vitesse, which came with a reconditioned, unleaded 2 litre six and, so far, I've got £747 back for the spares with the bonnet alone fetching £311. Someone even paid me a decent sum for the windscreen frame I'd cut off! :jaw: That means the chassis, engine and gearbox cost me £98 and I've still got a few bits to sell on. Anyway, good luck whatever you decide to do. |
I will go and see them
Like i say, theres not that many around, i'm always looking. If i got a car i will change most bits, start from scratch and get all the correct bits i want.:ranger:
