The 57 car may have been raced since new. The ad refers to being previously raced by "Tom O'Neil" Racing Sports Cars shows results for Sprite racer Thomas O'Neill going back to '59 https://www.racingsportscars.com/driver/archive/Thomas-O'Neill-USA.html. The caliper on that car is a Girling Type 10, used on the early Sebring cars but I believe also available from Donald M. Healey Motor Co. Wire wheels were more of a late 50s thing than late 60s. My guess is this car was pretty well kitted out when new and stayed pretty much that way since retired. Again, cheap money for a car with some potential great history.
