No doubt it started life as a Sprite, but the back end looks like it wanted to be a big Healey.
They claim it's a factory prepared car, but I find that a little hard to believe.

Howdy Folks,

She looks kind of like a mini "D" Type Jag to me. I think its pretty cool looking.

Are those "Cabinet or Door Hinges" holding up the trunk lid??? Sure looks like one or the other!!

Regards, Russ

PS: Hey Gundy; I can see you behind the steering wheel of this one!!

Nial;

That car sure looks like the Sprite that just recently was auctioned through R&M
It was the car Ed Leavens of London Ont. drove as a factory entry at Sebring back in the late 50's or early 60's.
Back then it had wires and was a one off because of the nose. The rest of the cars were conventional Sprites. They had a factory team.
I'm not sure this is that car.

That's one of the nicest replacement bonnets I've seen. Most seem to have some odd proportions, but that's just very pleasant.
