The somewhat convoluted story of the Sebring Sprite has been well documented in the past, from the class-winning trio of cars prepared by Donald Healey for the 1959 Sebring 12 Hours Grand Prix d'Endurance. (prototype Dunlop disc brakes, wire wheels, larger SU carbs, twin-plate racing clutches and straight-cut close-ratio gearboxes) through Stirling Moss’ success in the separate four-hour race for GT cars of under one litre at Sebring in 1960, John Sprinzel’s arrival at Austin-Healey with his Frank Costin-designed Speedwell GT and the legendary success of the 5 ‘Works’ and 2 Sprinzel cars at Sebring in 1961, through to the mid-sixties when over a dozen small firms were building their own streamlined bonnet, fastback versions of the Speedwell GT and Sprinzel Sebring utilising Mk1 and 2 Sprites (latterly the MG Midget) and marketing them as ‘Sebring Sprites’.

This Mk III is a Sebring-bodied car and prepared for the fantastic Equipe Racing Series.
