MIKE AUTHERS has recently acquired this South African built CKD 1958 Sebring Sprite fitted with Girling discs and Dunlop wire wheels, Riley rear drums, and 1275cc engine. It has a South African Blackheath plant bonnet in steel as well as a Blackheath ‘works’ oil catch tank and brake servo. Mike has been trying to find out more information about the car and particularly its bonnet which Jonathan Whitehouse Bird thinks is unique. Jonathan had seen the car before when it visited the U.K. for several Austin-Healey celebrations. It has recently been permanently imported.
The car is now registered 812 UYS, built 1958 in South Africa and fitted with an Ashley Fastback. If anyone can supply further information please do so via Feedback.
