Of the 6 Williams & Pritchard bodied Sprinzel Coupes believed to have been built, two of them have disappeared. One of them was originally registered WJB 727 but on being purchased by (the late) David Seigle-Morris it was re-registered with his personal plate, D20, and raced and rallied very successfully by him during 1961.  It was one of a three car team raced by John Sprinzel Ltd. Painted steel grey and fully trimmed David's car was part of the victorious 6 hr relay team at Silverstone and the 500 km team win at the Nurburgring. David then joined the Ford works team driving Lotus Cortinas and the Sebring Coupe was sold to Roger Mac for 1962 ,  - now with the registration 627 SKN - he used the car for hill-climbing.  When Tom Coulthard was researching his , and Sprinzel's, book "Spritely Years" in the early 1990's he was unable to discover what happened to the car thereafter. However, a recent email received from Kai von Schauroth who races his own Sebring (rep) in Germany, reveals how the missing car was raced in Germany during 1964. Frank Kalkuhl, who is now 78 years old, drove the car at the time and has supplied a number of fascinating photos of the car  at Flugplatz-Trier :-  

We still don't know what happened to the car after that!  Can you help?
