Greetings all,
I've been playing with little British cars for about 20 years now. My workshop currently houses a 1975 Spitfire, a 1980 TR8 and the new edition, a 1959 Sprite. The Spitfire has been pretty much rebuilt nose to tail with too many upgrades to mention here, the '8' is a well sorted driver with the factory aircon just repaired and has a Holley 390 carb on top of an Edelbrock intake and sports original Poseidon Green paint with a newly replaced golden tan plaid interior.
The Sprite just came home 2 weeks ago and is this winter's project. I just had the mighty 948cc rebuilt, so that's currently out of the car along with the transmission. The car sat in an actual barn for an indeterminate number of decades, but it has just under 21,000 miles on the odometer and appears to be, with the exception of the seats and carpet in lieu of mats, all original down to the paint. Here is a picture of all three beasties in my workshop:
