The Sebring Sprite Memorial Cup
This trophy takes the form of a shield which is presented to the Sebring Sprite considered to be the best turned out and displayed (usually at the November Classic Car Show held at the NEC Birmingham) in that year. The following have received the award since it was created by Ian Ashfield. Ian built his own Sebring Fastback Replica with Brian’s help shortly before he sadly died of cancer. We thank Ian’s long term girl friend Cynthia Longhurst for her interest in the award.
