The Miglia Speedster is a Triumph based special with classic lines reminiscent of many 1950's sports cars; paying great tribute to the Maserati A6GCS manufactured between1953 and 1955. 1950's was the heyday of beautifully designed open seat race cars. They really are breathtaking cars with so much style and grace, all combined with a remarkable racing heritage. The A6GCS was developed by Maserati to compete in the World Sports Car Championship. An A6GCS finished 3rd overall and 1st and 2nd in class in the 1953 Mille Miglia, beating off competition from Ferrari and Mercedes teams. It’s success at the Mille Miglia cemented its reputation in racing history.
This car we are offering has been built to a very high standard and significantly modified from standard. This car wears twin fins with headrests, instead of the usual single fin for the driver, adding safety and comfort for the passenger. In addition, additional stainless steel vents now adorn the front lower wing sections behind the front wheels and the engine bay, with its aluminium work well detailed.
The bright red coachwork, sporting an aluminium grill and wrap around fly screen, is complemented by a set of 15inch knock off wire wheels while the interior is trimmed in red with black carpeting. The dashboard is aluminium and the bucket seats are trimmed in red vinyl; for ease of entry and exit, a detachable steering wheel is also fitted.
Mechanically, the Speedster is powered by a 2500cc Triumph 2500 TC engine which has been rebuilt. It is accessed by removing the detachable lightweight bonnet. Fuel is fed via triple Weber carburettors and the engine is mated to a Triumph manual overdrive gearbox with a Jigsaw Racing 3:89 Big Diff fitted. The suspension is uprated with polyurethane bushes all around.
The resulting product looks stunning and the Speedster can perform admirably and kept pace with modern traffic with ease. The Miglia Speedster was registered as a Triumph Miglia Speed with the 2500cc engine as annotated on the UK V5 registration document and MoT test certificate. This Miglia Speedster certainly provides you with a historic motoring experience and in a sports car that is sure to turn heads wherever you venture.
