Description
A fabulous recreation of a Sebring Sprite.
Just completed and including a fully rebuilt cross flow 1098cc engine, with a re-conditioned original Alexander aluminium 7 port head, with twin Dellorto carburettors and a new Peco exhaust system.
The engine is running on a mapped Weber Alpha ignition system, for reliability and constant tune.
The chassis has been fully rebuilt along, with new; floors, sills, boot floor, chassis legs and new foot wells.
It has also been fitted with steel Frog-eye pattern rear wings, glass-fibre Sebring style front and a removable Dan Dare style hard-top.
The interior is fitted with red leather Mk2 seats, genuine original Smiths instruments, chronometric tacho and an original Moto-lita red leather steering wheel.
Cosmic Alloy Wheels with fresh tyres.
The front suspension has all been re-bushed, with lowering blocks to the springs, uprated re-conditioned dampers, Peter May top links, new brake calipers and a new steering rack.
All new brake cylinders, lines and shoes fitted with uprated re-conditioned dampers.
The rear axle has been completely refurbished with a 3.9:1 diff unit.
Condition is certainly better than new.
