I'm just about as excited as you pal!
I see some mountain chases in the fall.

I love black!
Have owned several black cars........just hate keeping them clean!

Looks great!

Same question as Steve -- Green or Black?

Either way, looks fantastic.
 
Thank everyone, the theme for this car is black and red. Next, ship off the peaces for chroming. While that is being done the sound deadening, wiring harness, front brake tubing, and interior starts going in.
 
Steve, these seats are exact replicas of the fiberglass seats in Works cars that race in the 60’s at Sebring. John Sprinzel was one of the original Works contracted racer for several seasons including LeMans, he drove with Sterling Moss and others.. While he race he operated a tuning shop in London working with William & Pritchard to build an alloy top Sebring Sprite with a Sprinzel fiberglass nose. Andrew Forster worked with John at John’s shop, Archers Garage. When John passed away some years back Andrew carried on with John reputation manufacturing the Sprinzel Sebring products. If you look in this photo you can see a couple of Sebring’s in the back of the shop.

Cheers!!

Click to expand...

He is (or was recently IIRC) an elected member of the county council, living large on Maui.
I wanted to look him up last time I visited but there just wasn't time, it would have been a hoot meeting him.
 
A few years back, he attended a couple of Healey events.
 
Last I read about him in the Marque One (Australian quarterly) Sprinzel still keeps a Bugeye as his only car. (though he drives less now)
