Guys,
Lucky enough to purchase this c1959 Milano a few days ago. Been fully registered since 1967 ... that's 53 years in the one owners hands who was only the 3rd owner. Previous owners his brother and first who built and raced it .. Johnny Shaw of the St George area. It is running a Skoda 1100cc engine and was raced from when first built around 1959 first with this motor, then a Skoda 1200 then a Grey motor then a Peugeot 203 motor before going back to this original engine. Ported twin SU's 3/4 race cam about 9 to 1. Built on a Skoda 4/40 chassis and running gear from new after the donor car late 50's fell off the trailer and rolled several times whilst being delivered new to Brisbane.
It raced at Oran Park and Amaroo maybe elsewhere before these were finished. Does anyone have any recollection of a Skoda powered Milano back then ?
A great fun thing to drive, light and seems to handle ok on the very old tyres ! Pretty much all Skoda except for a Wolseley rack and pinion steering. Skoda uses transverse leaf front and back. Needs a bit of TLC as hasn't been driven much last 30 years ...
Any help greatly appreciated ...
Ed Holly.
Lucky guy Ed.
There's a Milano in SA that has a Skoda rear end. Matt has it up at Eudunda. At some stage it acquired a 180B motor. I'm not sure what it had before. Steve might know. He had it at one stage.
Post script : Sorry, it was really an Italia, very much modified and it was originally fitted with a TR motor.

JL is the one in Eudunda my old green one? With the roof cut off?
Yep.
Ok was registered as a Milano but was a sectioned Italia. Original motor was TR2 plus box. I have sent a pic to your email.
I live in Madagascar ( East Africa),and life is worth living comfortably for me and my family now and really have never seen goodness shown to me this much in my life as I have been going through a problem as seriously as my son found a terrible accident last two weeks, and the doctors states that he needs to undergo a delicate surgery for him to be able to walk again and I could not pay the bills, then your surgery went to the bank to borrow and reject me saying that I have no credit card, from there i run to my father and he was not able to help, then when I was browsing through yahoo answers and i came across a loan lender Mr, Benjamin Breil Lee, offering loans at affordable interest rate I had no choice but to give it an attempt and surprisingly it was all like a dream, I got a loan of $ 110,000.00 to paid for my son surgery then get myself a comfortable business to help me going as well. I thank God today is good and you can walk and is working and the burden is longer so much on me more and we can feed well and my family is happy today and i said to myself that I will mourn aloud in the world of the wonders of God to me through this God fearing lender Mr Benjamin Breil Lee and I would advise anyone in genuine and serious need of loan to contact this God-fearing man on ...... 247officedept@gmail.com through .. and I want you all to pray for this man for me or Chat with him on whatsapp +1-989-394-3740 as well.
Thank you
