Thanks for the post! I love the vintage videos, even though they take me out of the garage.

Very cool. It would be hard to recognize that as a Sprite by its appearance!
And Phil Hill looks like he's 19!
I have done some 4 Hour night enduros with my Spridget when it was #11 (as well as my old #909 Escort GT and another Sprite).
My Spridget always ran pretty well in these.
The second shot is terrible but it's the only night shot I can find (both were taken at T1 at Summit Pint).
