i wasn't "dis'ing" my brethern but stating that my preference is to the longer bonnet.

I know you say that size isn;t important but in this case the longer lines of the bonnet adds to the sleeker - faster looking car.

that looks wicked, best find a gt6 to chop up next....

Andy has very definite ideas about how he wants the car to look ....Although he lives in Wales , he is originally from Norwich way , as is Phil9 , Andy asked for a scoop like Phils , Mike has done this.....

These scoops must be now known as NORFOLK SCOOPS....

We also managed to get the interior fitted ....dropped floors ( slightly modified as I made the frame before we had dropped pans ) , wooden sides and rear bulkhead and our new steel tunnels ( £60 each and supplied over length to be cut down )

Rear light holes and pods have been grafted on also....

The above picture shows the shorter tail quite well.....Obviously still a Sammio yet a bit different....

Welcome to the fold Andy. I'm sure there's room on here for the odd pro' amongst us amateurs. Looks like selling Sammio's could be a nice little addition to your business empire. Good luck!

AndyP57 · #32 7th April 2012, 08:21

Welcome Andy. Looking forward to seeing the 'Special' in paint.
I've taken the liberty of putting you 'on the map'. You are the Cars & Classics based in Taffs Well aren't you?
Matter of interest, what stage are you supplying donors at? As bought or Stripped or Stripped and restored?

Hi Andy and welcome to the forum, it's good to hear that you eventually decided to do a Spyder for yourself rather than just providing a few of us with donors

I bought the Herald 13/60 that had been converted to a Vitesse off of you last year and i'm happy to say that i've recently finished converting it to a Sammio Spyder and i've had a great time doing it

When i came over and saw the donor (about this time last year?) i do remember promising you that i'd come over when i finally finished and as soon as the weather cheers up and when i've gained a bit more confidence in it i'll pop over for a blat

I look forward to seeing how yours turns out, especially seeing as you're a top bodyshop bod!

Dave

chap68 · #37 7th April 2012, 18:11

Hi dave nice to hear from you and glad xmu did you proud!! yes it taken me a bit of time to swing mine into action but i knew all along what i wanted and and a bit of difference and i can honestly say gary and mike have got the vision of mine just how i want it to look, looking forward to being a agent to its all exciting stuff, still plaing with colours for mine i have 4 colours in mind for mine so you will all have to wait and see pics will follow!! thank you for the kind comment about my bodyshop, yeh when it warms up and have time pop over ketttle will be on!!
Andy.

Gary

Re your early post in this thread

1. How do we form the Norfolk Scoop into the bonnet to you "plant on" or "cut in" ?

2. Could we use you metal tunnel section to form the recess under our door cills to run the side exhausts within or do you have a standard tunnel section in fibreglass, current thinking is to mould the section around a length of 150mm dia drain pipe.

Just wondering if there's a progress report on this cracking looking one-off special build? Would love to see the finished car...

I would think not as this is the person that was allegedly 'taken for a ride' I think.
