Technically I'm still MG-less, BUT....

I now own a AH '65 Sprite!

Just picked it up today. Thanks everyone for helping me this far... I'm sure I'll have more questions after I dig in!

In the cargo trailer:

It didn't come with the kitchen sink. We're remodeling.

In it's new home! I have the grille, but it's not in that great of shape. I'll be looking for a better one.

Looks Great! That trailer sure worked nice.

Any more pics? We like pictures... /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/yesnod.gif

Sweet....& I'm learning more & more about the little cars from you guys...was '65 the first year the Sprite got vent windows? Was it also the first year the Midget got them or was '66 the first year for the MkII Midget?

 

[fmichaels]

65 was the first year i believe.

The trailer worked great. Used two ratchet straps onto the motorcycle eyelets.

I'll get some more pics tonight, can't play with my new toy until after work. /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/frown.gif

That car looks great, at least in the pictures, so far.

I have just turned green.

Donn.

Wow! Nice find, she looks very solid! Looks like you'll actually be able to drive it while you tie up those last few loose ends, which is always nice!

Congrats. I'm fond of the 65-66 Sprites, best looking of the square cars IMHO. Pack away hood makes for a clean look. That later 1098 motor is pretty good as well.

Welcome to the fold.

Drew not only does the top come off and fold away but when it is put up it has a nice arc and more vintage look that the MkIV Sprites don't have.

Nice Find.

That's a solid looking Sprite, good find!!

 

[Branson]

Looks like a nice find!! certainly more complete than my '65. I think you will enjoy it!!

 

[vping]

Very nice looking car.

 

[Atrus]

Conga-rats! Looks like a great little car!

 

[mgless]

Okay, more pics! Unfortunately I had to work late so I couldn't take it out into the daylight.

I think a slab of carpet and a grille, and you've got yourself a winner mate!

 

[drooartz]

Those pictures look promising. Will be worth a good, close look at the underside and the usual rust areas before you tackle the carpet.

At first glance, looks like a good one.

Welcome to Spridget ownership....I've owned various Spridgets over the last 25+ years and they are great fun.

Congrats!
