Bob
Nice to hear from you. Photo attached My MK III Sprite is the one in the
gazebo, the event took place at Hermitage Hall near Downham Market Norfolk,
on the original medieval pilgrims way to Walsingham. You may have to blow
the photo up a bit to see the detail since it is in panoramic format, the
non-Spridget on the right hand end is a Le Mans replica MGA, the red car
about halfway between my Sprite and the MGA is an Arkley. The Arkley is
built by stripping the outer panels from a Spridget and replacing them with
special glass fibre ones. I am mot sure if the Arkley reached your side of
the pond, but it was a period modification in England and was intended to
look a bit like the early MG sports cars. This Arkley has a Judson
supercharger fitted. The red car with wire wheels to the left of the gazebo
is an Austin Sprite, one of only 1022 built after Austin severed it's
connection with Donald Healey.
Best regards
Dave
