Brett Dillon has been in touch with the latest progress on 2214 UE, and the restoration has reached a big milestone. The car is now mechanically complete, with just the electrics left to check over.
Brett took on 2214 UE last year, picking up the restoration that the late Jon Tizard had been working on. You can catch up on the earlier stages in Brett’s first update. His photos below show the car in its current “finished” state, from the cockpit and roll cage to a beautifully detailed engine bay, and the number 94 roundels going on by hand.
See 2214 UE at the NEC this weekend
Brett will be with the car on the MASC stand at the Lancaster Insurance Classic Motor Show, NEC Birmingham, 13 to 15 November. If you’re going, call by and say hello. It’s a great chance to see the car up close and hear about the restoration from Brett himself.
Brett is busy helping Rich Woolmer get a couple more Sprites ready for the show, so we hope to bring you more of the restoration story once the dust has settled.
