I almost bought a project Arkley when I was in high school. You know the one, looks like a shrunken Morgan, with those flowing separate fenders, and based around a Spridget shell/ Well, anyway, the shell was in great shape, and the engine bay contained what looked like a tuned 1275 motor. It was a project needing full restoration, so I passed. After all, the costs would've been the same as building up a Spridg in the same condition, but I would've had a car of somewhat questionable value and looks. I started kicking myself when I found a kit that converted a Spridg to a replica Speedwell Sprite.....that half finished Arkley would've been a perfect donor!
