The Jag powered Sprite in the current issue. I've seen it at shows at the Saratoga Auto Museum, sometimes on the lawn, sometimes not. I stood there one time with a professional fabricator and just studied with mouth agape. Amazing craftsmanship, clean and once it's done you look and say, Gee that looks easy. That's the trick, it does look easy. I've seen the car in primer, different wheels on & off, but there was always that throaty "not a Sprite" noise.

Helluva job, well done Mr. Couper. My hat (and body hammer) off to you.

Amazing, isn't it. The whole thing looks like it was just meant to be.

And you're right about making it look easy. Like, just taking an old e-type hood that was laying around and grafting the center section onto the spitfire's hood frame. No problem.
