I spoke to Peter a week or so ago, he’s not been well so decided to sell a couple of things, but he wasn’t too worried if this didn’t sell.

Genuine ..every few months there is a new one found :D

Anyway I digress..

Super Sam's/ ordinary Sam's.. was it an optional accessory to have the red/ gold Livery applied when they were in for the upgrade package ?

A member here has a white one. I believe there is a blue and silver one..car in this thread has a black bonnet only.

I'm sorry that Peter's unwell.

"Indeed, so coveted are the limited number of road cars he converted to ‘Super Samuri’ specification that they have spawned numerous imitators. Their gas flowed cylinder heads, GDS flamespray six-branch exhaust manifolds, uprated suspension, vented front disc brakes with four-pot callipers and stainless-steel sill covers etc are all easy enough to copy."

Personally, I find the car to be 'tacky' - the front indicators, rubbish front spoiler, rear reg plate lights, angled rear silencer, sagging suspension at the rear, 'Samuri' plastic stick-on letter on the rear spoiler, speakers in the doors, gearknob, radio/CD facia, patched-in and ill-fitting (like a size too big) rear strut trim, wires everywxhere under the bonnet and some curvy fuel lines, all held together with bag-ties, cheap tyres and unfortunately, despite a polish, no-one's taken the time to clean off the 'white from all the light lenses.

All that and with a sunroof should have placed this car at around £30k judging from current sales.

The H&H sales blurb implies that stainless steel sill covers were part of the Spike Anderson/Samuri 'package'.

My impression is that the idea of a Samuri 'package' is something dreamed up in retrospect in any case, but full sill covers are a new one on me. Can anybody cite any other - period* - examples? I cannot remember one.


[caveat]*'Period' in Samuri terms being - ahem - a term slightly grey around the edges...[/caveat]

Agreed and nothing is clearer since Spikes' book which lays down the 'strict-rules' as to what is and isn't a Samuri and Super-Samuri !

Mine only valued at 40k

But when I as at Donny historic the year Clive Richarson and Clive Parker came they were very impressed to see the samuri

They both said there are many period features still left on this car that spike fitted and your doing a grand job of careing for her

Still on range rover 4 pots

Not many super samuri or samuri I have seen that are close to a spike car tbh
