Lee Turner has been in touch after a great day out at Donington Park on Remembrance Sunday, and he’s sent us some lovely photos and an onboard clip of his silver Sebring coupé, FAA 867D.

Regular visitors may recognise the registration: FAA 867D appears in our Sebring replica gallery as No. 108, “Kermit”. These days it wears silver paint, black wheels and white roundels, and it looked right at home in the Donington pit lane.

The circuit marked the day with a “Lest We Forget” message on the start gantry, a fitting backdrop for an afternoon on track.

FAA 867D also found some good company in the paddock, lining up alongside a lovely green-and-white Ford Anglia outside the garages.

And here’s a taste of what it’s like from the driver’s seat. Lee’s onboard footage gives a great sense of the Sprite out on the Donington circuit:

Thanks to Lee for sharing. If you’ve been out in your Sebring Sprite, we’d love to hear about it: send us your news.
