Really like that Sprite, looks like it has had time/effort/money spent on it. Panels look straighter and gaps tighter than when it left the factory.
Mate had a sprite, getting in and out was interesting 30yrs ago. Think Iโd end up in A&E if I tried it these days though.
I had one when I was young and (more) foolish. Loved it - the back end was so stiff you could hang the tail out on dry roundabouts.
Then I made the mistake of doing an engine rebuild just before a trip from Plymouth to central Scotland. Running it in at 45 up the A38, M5 and M6 was painful with everything overtaking me - sitting there after dark with an artic up my chuff was a scary experience, it was so low it felt like they could just run over you and not notice ![]()
Was musing on how it would compare with the cost of a return rail ticket to London from down here in the South West. Provided you didnโt go First Class the train is marginally cheaper, but about the same if I factor in the cost of getting to the train in Plymouth. Mental really. Me + 2 tons of Rolls Royce vs me on a train being about the same. Obvs thereโd be ULEZ charges to add on.
Anything over 40 years old is exempt.
Drove past a Pagani Utopia today, which Google tells me is a rare sight, with only 99 made. Had the numberplate BOY 1.
The black coupe, is that an early Manta?
Looks great, not sure ive ever seen one.
Looks like it belongs to the Pink Panther.
Yes, thereโs a little chrome Manta ray behind the front wheel. Very sharp looking car.
There were lots of Ferraris, Lamborghinis & Jags there along with quite a few US cars, Corvettes Mustangs etc. But I liked the Alfas, Austin Atlantic & the Simca Aronde and the Lotus Elite.
Itโs a nice event, free admission & some very enthusiastic owners keen to tell about them.
Wiggy Austin. Fiat 600?
Love it = want one.
