New Member - Scott - 1960 Sprite

Good day everyone. My name is Scott and as you can see, I have a 1960 Sprite.

I've only been into British cars for about 2 years; actually in the middle of doing some upgrades to include replacing the smoothcase gearbox with a ribcase. Also replacing a leaking radiator but all in all, the car is in fantastic shape.

Strangely enough, I was not looking for this car at all but had saved up money to purchase a Volkswagen Beetle Convertible. When I was looking for one, I came across this.
I had never seen one of these in person; only online and in magazines. Just instantly grabbed my attention; very unique and cool looking vehicle. So I changed my decision on the Beetle and purchased this.

Been quite an adventure already, especially getting this gearbox swapped out but should have it back on the road by the end of the month. Definitely an eye turner; the few local car shows I've taken it to are mostly big American muscle cars so this stands out for sure.
