Gordon Higgs' Sebring Coupé

TBW 460G

Gordon Higgs bought this basket case Sprite Mk 4 as a basis for his replica of PMO 200 at the beginning of 2008. With help from colleagues at Aston Martin where he works Gordon has restored the badly corroded shell and fitted the fibreglass rear end, coupé top, bonnet and aluminium doors.

January 2011: "I hope this finds you well. I'm sorry its been so long since my last mail. I've been keeping busy on the Sprite build. It seems I've been waiting ages to get her into the paint shop ~ a small local business called Lone Pine that's been in the same family since the early 1950's. They specialise in high class and classic cars. My Sprite was in outstanding company while she was in, ~ there was a Shelby Mustang bare shell waiting for paint, two Aston Martins and a Rolls Royce, not to mention the 1930's Bentley body parts being painted in cellulose! After our earlier mails I did some searching through our extensive paint colour information at work to see if I could throw any light on the Tartan/Alfa Red question and I found there were several Tartan Reds so I've chosen a lighter Tartan. It probably is not the same as PMO200 but I like it and that's what counts. The Sprite is home now so the long build process can start. All the suspension parts have been plated and powder-coated, overhauled and are ready to refit. Gordon".
