This is cool - AMCO accessories on a MKII Sprite

[RickB]

Just saw this, I have some of the stuff I am sure...
At least I have that "Front Bumper Guard".
Those "Wind Wings" look pretty cool :wink:

 

[chrpark]

has anyone seen the 'front bumber guard' mounted without the actual bumper? It looks like it mounts to the frame rails...

 

[RickB]

I could shoot a picture of where it mounts... tomorrow. :wink:

 

[JPSmit]

there has been a guy at the Bronte show selling those bumper guards for the past couple of years at least. No idea of brand but I think he was asking $35 per.

I love that bling bling stuff. My personal favorite is the stitched leather Austin Healey Sprite gear knob. The wind wings do help with air flow. I'd love to see a gear shift pattern plate. One of those would have been nice to help
prevent the ol lady from trying to hit 1st at 50 m.p.h.

I purchased 2 of the amco front guards on ebay, and the rear bumper guard also off ebay, all NOS over the last 2 years.

If you read that add, there is a ski rack for these cars, LOL

 

[leecreek]

I had a ski rack on my '62. Used it often. My first car in the
60's.

I have a pair of the "wind wings" in a box from the PO although I'm not sure I'll ever fit them.

So if I set up an RSS feed from an ebay search would "AMCO Sprite" be the best way to find these things, or is there a better way to search for them?

Took a friend skiing when I was young in my '68' Sprite. No ski rack so strapped the skis across the windshield and roll bar, top down. We got a lot of looks. Good thing you're never cold in a Healey.

I've been searching midget nos and mg midget on ebay for years, you can also use sprite or healey nos.

I've also been searching the ebay.uk site, not lots of peeps here in the states think about searching there for mg parts, why not go straight to the origin country, LOL

Here is a current ebay auction # for a amco rear bumper guard

Presently using a AMCO Shorty tonneau on my Sprite. And have a brand new one in the original box as a spare.

Yes, I also have ebay UK and ebay Australia as favorites and I check them pretty often. Sometimes you can get someone over there to send you something with reasonable shipping rates too.

I really like the look of those shorty tonneaus. :thumbsup:

It attaches to the brackets that go through the valance fro the bumper.

 

[jlaird]

Oh, I like that.

 

[JPSmit]

Oh, I like that.

also makes it handy for picking up and moving, as well as hanging storage in the garage in the off season

:lol:

You'd need to slide some rubber handgrips on to get the full effect...

 

[chad]

could lay on your back and do some chin-ups, LOL
