Spike and samuri new web site

[Chappers]

Thanks for updating us about the new Updates, as it were, Jonathan.

The most interesting thing for me is that we have seen, for the first time, a published Register ( or at least, Spike's version of the ) genuine Samuri Registration numbers.

Might stir up a few arguments......and I might suggest that there's one missing..........

and I might agree...

It seems to me that a lot of the info has gone from the site if I remember there was a list of sams together with photos of them on it

It must be being updated as we speak Steve, last night when I was looking the list of reg numbers and photos was there I am certain.... But it's not there now.

 

[STEVE BURNS]

probably a ploy to get people to buy the book to get the info

 

[rallymanDP]

That particular info is not in the Book, Steve.

Samuri Projects Page

Just looked here and list shows

 

[SKiddell]

This is an interesting line

Therefore any performance vehicle carrying the Samuri trade mark that was not sanctioned by Spike is in fact not a Samuri and cannot legally use that name.

Didnt Spike "sell" Samuri and then move to Spain

I have searched the copyright librarys but can't seem to find any referance to any exclusivity, maybe someone has more info

Intellectual Property Office - Results

He has a trademark registered but the font looks different or is that me forgetting my rose tinted glasses?(just joking as I am a Samuri fan but I seem to remember that reference to Sam's once on here)

 

[SKiddell]

Ah that's because it's a trademark not a copyright ......silly me

 

[STEVE BURNS]

So we are now going to have sam number 76 and sam number 77
Emm wonder how that works as not sure about samuri logo and the companies that produced sams

Are any Sams produced after Spike left these shores not really Sams as,

Since Samuri was founded by Spike Anderson the Samuri logo has been his personal trade mark and this trade mark is still valid to this day. Therefore any performance vehicle carrying the Samuri trade mark that was not sanctioned by Spike is in fact not a Samuri and cannot legally use that name.

,
even though Samuri Conversions I believe was carried on trading by Kevin and Ross

Just for a bit of info back in 1997Mandy Heafhcote who was editor of the Z Club mag included the following in the Winter edition

Why knock the Samuri name ? back in the day a Samuri was the Z to have (hence everyone asking Z owners if their std Z was a Samuri) , Spike is like so many of us he loved 240's since the day he first got in one the only difference being he decided to modify his from day one (day one in Spike's case it was a new car) Back in the day it was his knowledge that enabled him to create such a machine because there where no later models to transplant parts from (its so easy for you guys these days) It is not Spike who has trashed the Samuri name its people that claimed sams where sams when they are not. I made the mistake of buying CHL instead of FFA a few years back if I had bought FFA it would still be in the garage now as it is the only original Samuri worth owning bar Big Sam. So now personally have decided to build my own car Spike's way but using some of the parts that are available across the world 38 years later !!!!!!!!! Spike Aderson is a legend reading Spike's book & comments from my long time Z friends made me realise how similar all us true enthusiasts are.

We don't need to rake this up again do we ? William does own the name thats how 75,76&77 are being built .

Not raking anything up just a member asked me about two letters that were printed and I scanned them in as requested

Also Is it also part of the samuri story or not or should it be just disregarded
