This website is intended as a celebration of the very rare Sprinzel Sebring Sprite Coupe of which only about 6 examples were produced, raced and rallied in the 1960's. The alloy coupe tops were built by Williams & Pritchard. There were other similar examples, including a fastback version produced by Peel Coachworks, and I am now in the process of expanding the site to include all forms of Sebring Sprite.

Below are the 4 surviving original  W & P Sprinzel Coupés:-

               PMO at Silverstone 2007                 S221 at Goodwood 50                    EAO at Goodwood 50                 WJB 707 at Goodwood 50

Not intended to take anything away from the "special-ness" of these original cars, a number of which are still around, the replica cars, which have been much more recently assembled, offer the opportunity for the enthusiast to acquire an exact copy of the original for everyday, or competition, use. With the help of Archers Garage and Wheeler & Davies this is now a practicable proposition at reasonable cost.  Below are some examples of Sprites fitted with  replica  Sebring bodywork:-

          Kai Eriksen's S221 copy   Andy Actman, Goodwood 2008       Mike Youles new racer              Richard Pugh's fastback           Alan Anstead's road car

Perhaps I should just clarify that this is my personal website and that I have no business connection with the organisations referred to. I have built up good relationships, and friendships, with them, before, during and since building my own car.

Please let me know if you like my site, or have any suggestions for additions or improvements, and let me have your own Sprite stories, by completing the feedback form. Also, please let me know if you can provide any more photos.
