Tony_C Posted September 29, 2020 Report Share Posted September 29, 2020 Morning all, Couple of preamble points: Not for the purists Not strictly TR - in fact, not remotely! Autumn is upon us and casting around Far and wide for potential‘ winter projects’...... What do you think, any thoughts? - JOhn, and many more of you have plenty of experience of this chassis and power-train... https://www.historics.co.uk/buying/auctions/2018-03-03/cars/ref-17-1971-triumph-miglia-speedster/ (It’s actually all the components for sale on eBay.... happy to post the link if anyone interested) Thanks and all the best Tony Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PaulAnderson Posted September 29, 2020 Report Share Posted September 29, 2020 (edited) I personally sent the following in an email to my father a couple of days ago. Fancy an Austin 7 in need of a bit of work? Look at this link on eBay https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/154094461394 Get a fibreglass sports for it to make it look like this one https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/114401343920 and away we go. He’s in his mid 80’s so it will not happen but I recall being dropped off at junior school in his Austin 7 many years ago, and having to push it once in front of mates.

Tony_C Posted September 29, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2020 Hi Paul, Yes, you’ve got the same idea, still no harm and all good fun even if very small percentage is ever going to come off.. When did Austin 7’s become so expensive and desirable? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stillp Posted September 29, 2020 Report Share Posted September 29, 2020 I rather like that Miglia Tony. Pete Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tony_C Posted September 29, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2020 Yep Pete, would be something a bit different..... Would sound good and go pretty good.... no rust and all underpinnings robust, reliable and basic ... Anyone have any idea how long to nail together? - What would you trip-up on?
