First time in public

[Millrat]

So we took the Sprite down to the local Kiwanis charity car show to allow the public to see her for the first time. What a lot of fun and reward for all the hard work! Great time and a lot of great people

Nice colour....looks great!

I love those early Bugeye / Mk II wheels with hup caps. I really wanted a set for my ~Red Rat~.

I used a set of early Austin sedan wheels instead, but I prefer those wheels with the holes.
(If those are riveted wheels, do be careful with them...there is some talk of the rivets failing. My sedan wheels are riveted and I watch them).

We had a lot of positive comments on the color. There was a MGa down the row from us but there were just the two of us and a lot of model t's and muscle cars. I have gotten used to the Sprite and didn't realize how small it was until we parked between two normal size cars . Riveted Wheels? I'll need to look.

The color is Blaze Red Kandy Jewel :cooler:. Candy apple red without the multicoat big bucks process. It sparkles in the sunlight but is still close to a color that looks original. Here is another shot.
