I bought this car to race when I retired in a few years.  Since then, plans changed when I married, moved to Spokane and had a baby, so the racing car has to go.

BODY:  Old English White with red striping.  Bottom 8 inches of car is painted red around entire car, then has two red stripes over the top.  Full roll cage.  Tilt/removeable front clip.  Stock steel hood and fiberglass hood.  Stock steel trunk lid and fiberglass trunk lid.  Full metal cockpit clad in aluminum and steel, painted light gray.  Lightweight aluminum racing seat with thin black padded cover.  Five point seatbelt.  Aircraft style splined removeable steering wheel.  Fuel cell.  6 inch racing windscreen and original full glass windscreen.  Brand new minilite wheels and tires.

ENGINE:  Zero time on rebuilt 1275 motor.  Balanced.  .060+ flat top pistons.  Wedged and nitrided crank.  Custom lightened flywheel.  Center main bearing strap.  ARP connecting rod bolts and head studs.  Ported head.  High lift rockers.  Race valves and springs.  Kent 290 scatter cam.  Decked block.  Brand new rebuilt SU carburetors.  LCB header.  Oberg oil filter.  Oil cooler.  MSD ignition.  Crossflow radiator.

GEARBOX:  4 speed manual.  Ribbed-case transmission.  Locked 4:22 rear end.

SUSPENSION:  Front lowered with 300lb springs.  Front lever shocks but set up for tube shocks also.  Front anti-roll bar. Poly bushings.  Rear lowered with lowering kit.  Rear tube shocks.  Five point rear suspension.

EASY STREET CONVERSION:  Sprites are the simplest cars; cheap and easy to work on. It needs five pieces to be street legal in Washington. Install stock windscreen, which is included. Install windshield wipers, which are cheap and readily available. Then hook up the headlights, tail lights and horn. Horn not included.

You will not buy a better Sprite racing car, even if you spent a lot more elsewhere.   The car was professionally built by an expert in Colorado who made every imaginable upgrade.   He races an airplane and sold the car to raise money for his plane. It is time consuming and super expensive to build one of these.   Spare yourself the expense, time and trouble and buy this finished one.

It even has a custom made bracket welded to the front frame that enables the entire front clip to lift and then pull away from the front of the car.  In other words, you can take the just the hood alone off the regular way by removing the four hood pins. Or, you can lift THE ENTIRE FRONT CLIP (the hood, fenders, front shroud & headlights all as a unit, kind of like an E-Type) straight up, so it's 90 degrees perpendicular, and then you can slide the whole front clip six more inches FURTHER AWAY to fully expose the whole engine bay and front suspension.  

The leather wrapped race car steering wheel is really cool.  It detaches with an aircraft style splined shaft and retaining clip.  Whenever I pop the steering wheel off I feel like a Formula One grand prix mechanic.  Other guys don't have this on their Sprite!

It is mechanically perfect with ZERO time on a rebuilt 1275 motor.  It has every possible upgrade, such as MSD ignition, lightened flywheel, nitrided crank, etc. etc. etc.  You saw the list already.

It has two hoods and two trunk lids.  One set is original and the other set is fiberglass for weight reduction.  The car has a beautiful slightly worn but shiny polished patina.

It has two windscreens.  One is the 6" race screen in the photos and the other is the original stock version for street use if you choose to license the car and assemble it with horn, headlights, tail lights, windshield, and wipers for the street.

It would cost $20,000 or more to buy a rust free car and make all the modifications this one has.  You can own this car for around half that.  This car has NO RUST.   What would it cost you to strip an entire Sprite cockpit and clad it with steel and aluminum and paint it light gray like this one?   Think, for example, about the custom fabricated roll CAGE (not roll bar, but roll cage that goes all around the entire cockpit to the engine bay) and how expensive that would be to fabricate, install and paint it red to match the striping?   How much to paint the car (and spare hood and trunk lid) and stripe it and number it?   Look at the custom bracing surrounding the engine bay and think how long that would take to fabricate and how much it would cost you to do it.

It has brand new mini light wheels, and brand new tires.   It has the correct fuel cell.   It has newly rebuilt carburetors.   The entire car has been professionally freshened up by Brooklands British car in Tacoma.

The best part about the whole deal  is that the car is completely done.  You don't have to spend any time doing anything to it.   It's ready to roll today.   Just buy it and enjoy it.  Put it next to other Sprites and watch them drool.   Racers have spent twice the money I'm asking and their car isn't any faster or better than this one.  Plus theirs does not have the magic tilt front clip.  No one does.   It's a one of a kind special fabrication.

Why spend two years building one when you can buy a finished one for such a low price?   If not now, when are you going to do it?  How old will you be then?  Just buy the darn thing and start enjoying it.  Quit waiting around!
