The original Sebring Sprite Coupes were created by John Sprizel at his London tuning business, in the 1960s, around six were built which were raced and rallied by him and other enthusiasts,. The alloy coupe tops, and fibreglass Sebring bonnets were built by Williams & Pritchard. Two of the cars took part in the 1961 Sebring 4 hours race in the hands of Stirling and Pat Moss. There were other similar examples, including a fastback version produced (more cheaply) by Peel Coachworks,
