Hi All,
My name is Sean and i am new here. I have to say in the past year i have become completely obsessed with spridgets. I also have to admit that i have never drove or even ridden in a spridget. It all kind of started when i was chatting with a customer about cars, and he mentioned he had an old sprite in storage that he needed to get rid of. so he asked me if i wanted it. I said Sure not even really knowing what a sprite was. after i got the car i realized it was a complete basket case, but that didn't matter, i was all ready bitten by the bug. I spent long hours on the internet researching spridgets, engine swaps, ect. See i wasnt completely naive of British cars, i had spent a few years working in a restoration shop. i was around old ferraris, lotus, Jags, ect. The shop owner was restoring a lotus 23c racecar. I was there for the complete process, and when the time came to do some "testing" around the backroads around the shop, i got to ride. I will never forget the experience, being low to the ground, the power of the engine, the lightness of the car. So it all came together for me. I am planning a resto mod project using a spridget and modifying it to be fast, but also addressing the brakes and suspension. I want the car to appear to be stock, or a lightly modified car keeping with the period it was built(no carbon fiber, modern looking wheels, ect). The engine will be a duratec 2.0 with a ford type 9 behind it. Using a custom drive shaft going to a shortened rx7 rear end. I am using the car that was given to me to build engine mounts, exhaust manifold, ect. then i will get a decent car to swap the parts over. I hope to get a bugeye, but we will see. Here is a little teaser pic
