RetroMarques Ltd is pleased to offer for sale on behalf of the owner, this Sebring Sprite evocation: DTA949C A Sprinzel Sprite evocation, commissioned as a nut-and-bolt rebuild by a private collector and professionally constructed utilising a 1965 MG Midget and a full ‘Archers Garage’ Sebring conversion kit; this is a faithful evocation of ‘WJB 707’, the Sprite raced in period by Stirling Moss which, by coincidence, is about to be sold at auction with H&H (£80-100k estimate!). Specification and rebuild history: Bored out rebuilt engine to 1,275cc (1st bore only) and
converted to run unleaded fuel (no other engine modifications) 12 months’ MoT test The Sprinzel Sebring Sprite Coupe was introduced to the world
at the London Racing Car Show in January 1961 and whilst only 6 examples were
produced, 2 of the cars were raced at Sebring in 1961 in the Hands of Pat &
Stirling Moss and thus enhancing the marque’s pedigree. During the period many
body variants of the Sprite were produced to give racing advantage but none are
as revered as John Sprinzel’s design. An opportunity to buy a very attractive Sebring Sprite evocation, a fully rebuilt car, driving very strongly and with no work to finish! Potentially also suitable for competition or fast-road use, should the new owner so desire.
