SEBRING NEWS

An opportunity to acquire one of the very few Speedwell Monza bonnets made in Aluminium Alloy

Currently owned by Peter Alfredsson who has now fitted a standard bonnet to his Sebring Sprite and wishes to sell this very original item.

Restoration of the ex-Ian Walker WJB 707 is well under way in Brian Wheeler's workshops. Now in primer, it is expected to be fully painted and at least partially assembled over the coming weeks before the May celebrations.

Can you help find missing Sprite racers, drivers, owners?

To complete research for his Frogeye book, John Baggott is desperate to contact the following: Peter Preston, historic racer of Speedwell GT 5755 MM, 1989-92, last heard of in Surrey, England., Jack Mathe, racer of Speedwell GTs XYU 383 and 7140 RO, 1961 -62, last heard of in South Africa., and Neil Woods who re-imported a 1958 Frogeye from Canada, last heard of in Yorkshire. If any of you Spritely people are out there or anyone can put him in touch please let me know. Feedback

 

New Edition of "Spritely Years"

Advance copies of John Sprinzel and Tom Coulthards' re-issued  book will shortly be available and you can email spritelyyears@btinternet.com to reserve your copy

The UK published price will be £25 plus the ‘at cost’ postage of £4.95 for the UK and £6.50 for Europe. It had been hoped that John Sprinzel might be on hand at the Sprite 50th celebrations to sign copies but unfortunately he cannot make it this time. However it is hoped that a few copies signed by both authors will be available in due course, though it is likely they will have to be offered at a considerable premium due to the very high carriage costs i.e to Hawaii and back! This will probably be the last opportunity to buy this very special book, so I suggest you place your order now if you don't already have one. (N.B.John Sprinzel is handling distribution for USA and Australia independently)
