Miglia shell :-( Pics now added
Turbo Mini Forums

Hi everyone,

Mini miglia shell built by Peter Vickers from a new shell but based on a 68 donor car.Therefore comes with a perfectly legal 1968 V5.It would take a couple of pages to do a write up of everything on the shell but here is a rough spec on it.

Full weld in miglia spec cage.Linked into the front subframe mounts and back shock mounts.Tagged to the shell down the a pillars and at various other points around the shell.The shell is virtually rust free with only tiny bits of surface rust on the floor.

Weld in miglia rear anti roll bar.

Carbon front end, bonnet,boot lid & wheel arches.

Custom alloy boot floor.

Custom alloy parcel shelf.

Custom alloy dash, the same as a carbon miglia one but in alloy.

Full width bulkhead box

Seam welded and strengthened around all suspension points.

Additional mounting points for subframes .

Custom mounts for steering column and seat from the rollcage.

Sealed firewalls.

Tubbed rear arches.

The shell is a close to a new miglia shell as you will get without paying out 4k for a heritage shell and then paying vickers the 5-6k they quoted me to do the same work as this one.

Im looking for £3000 for the shell which is what I paid for it.No subframes,seat,steering wheel etc included it is just the shell for sale.Obviously the other stuff is available but not included in the sale.


Pics,excuse the amount of dust and the metal filings everywhere!



























Cheers Ross.

Cheers for the comments lads,hopefully someone will be along to get themselves a bargin.Have to admit though when I got it out the garage on saturday I had to ask myself why I was doing this!
