I have never seen wheel covers like this on a Sprite? the outer part with the slots looks like a wheel cover, can't tell if it is part of the little moonie looking AH center caps or goes underneath. Anyone seen these before, I don't think I have. https://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/196...2704298?pt=US_Cars_Trucks&hash=item257d1ae42a There is a closer picture if you scroll down the pics. Wouldn't mind having another '67 Sprite some time, have had a couple, they are more expensive now than when I bought mine! Also note it hase the original radio box, those are getting harder to find.
 
looks like an aftermarket wheel trim for 13in er's way back when... but the 1275... thin wall engine with coveted head and crank is worth a tidy sum in my book...
 
Yes, I had a '67 with original motor a few years back, should have held on to it...I think it is still in my town somewhere, but have lost track of who owns it now.
 
Steering wheel is stock with a laced on cover. I suspect cracks underneath. Turn signal lever makes me suspect it is broken [common]. Recent respray makes me nervous about what was repaired in the process. It is in New York! I'm probably being a cynic but I would want to see it up close or have a long talk before committing. Notice pitting on the speedo facia ring. It hasn't been kept in a warm dry place.

Kurt.
