Description

This a very special car.

Being one of only six original Williams and Pritchard bodied Sprinzel Sebring Sprites.

-

410EOA was built in early 1961 and supplied to Andrew Hedges who then competed with in the car in both the UK and in Europe.
Races included the Nürburgring 1000K, being part of the 1961 World Sportscar Championship.

Comprehensively restored some years ago by Sebring Sprite historian; Jonathan Whitehouse-Bird over a period of several years.

A complete and total restoration using only genuine period original and many brand new "old stock" original parts.

Importantly this car has a continual history from new, the original Williams and Pritchard Aluminium body panels and comes with DVLA documentation including the original 410EAO registration number.

-

I have personally owned this car for many years, during which time the car has seldom been driven.

The car is very much in detail as it was in 1961.
It is of a museum quality and it does not have any safety equipment required for modern day competition.

-

Another of the four known cars remaining, and this in a much more “used” condition was recently advertised at £150, 000 (UK Pounds) and has since sold.

I would consider an offer for 410EAO based upon this figure.

Overseas enquiries welcome.
