I OK'd this subject with basil a few weeks back. I am in no way affiliated with the producer of this kit and am not profiting from this in any way, other than saving boat-loads of $$$ on shipping.
That said, I need to find 3 more individuals who may interested in owning one of these:
From Old Car Junkie:
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:]The Sammio Spyder is a Triumph Herald based re-body that recalls the fantastic fiberglass body specials from the 1950s mostly utilizing flat head four cylinder Fords. There was an amazing variety of these specials as evidenced by the fantastic 1950s Specials site. The Sammio isn’t a direct copy of any particular car but could certainly be mistaken for something created in the 1950s.[/QUOTE]
I'm planning on bringing atleast 2 of these into the US in the not so distant furue. My main concern is the cost of shipping. Then I had a thought, why not rent an entire container and fill it? 6 car bodies will fit in a 20' container. A 20' container from southern England to the Port of Detroit is around $3000. Divide that by 5 or 6 and the costs are pretty reasonable. I've traded a few emails with the guy who makes these bodies. If we order 5 or more, he'd be willing to sell his "package deal" (body shell, inner frame, grille and windscreen, LH or RH drive) for $1600 USD (each). He also said he can provide RH drive racks as well. The donor car needs to be a Herald. The body will not fit on a Spitfire chassis with heavy modification. However, all the go fast parts you can install Spitfire will fit the Sammio. I'm estimating one of these can be had for about $2300 USD when all things are said and done. Anyone interested? I can help load or transport once they are in Michigan.
