Austin Healey Sebring Sprite Replica

5116 HN - Ian Ashfield's Fastback

(No.47 on the list of Sebring Replicas).

Built during 2010, Ian's fastback Sebring was completed just in time to take centre-stage on the Midget & Sprite Club stand at the Classic Car Show at the Birmingham N.E.C. in November, that year. Painted in metallic Arctic Blue, it has a Peter May 1,330cc balanced and modified engine with a Weber carburettor. The car was built-up using a new Wheeler and Davies bodyshell and a lot of second parts. It uses a Jack Knight close ratio, straight cut gearbox, has a Panhard rod fitted at the rear, and sports a three-mouth Monza bonnet. In June 2011 the car has only done a total of about 50 miles but will be on display at Midget 50.
