Sven Eckhardt saw this advert (right) on ebay and of the course had to have it. He says: “As far as I know Bill Graham bought the car from Speedwell in 1964. I figure the ad was prior to that. How prior your guess is as good as mine. There is progress: Chassis has been shotblasted (again) as well as epoxy primed. I shall reassemble the body in full prior to the final coat of paint and yes it shall be the last very snazzy livery of purple and gold which as far as I can see is as hip as you can get on a Mk I Sprite. May the force be with me. Recent photos below. Sven”
