WSM Sprite
WSM Sprite 208 in the Isle of Man Motor Museum at Jurby.
In 1962 Douglas Wilson-Spratt and Jim McManus produced the first of their special-bodied Sprites to subsequently be called WSMs, now generally known as Wuzzums, using the initials of their two surnames. The immediate interest in the car led to the production of nine cars for owners in the UK, Europe and the USA, with aluminium bodies being constructed by Peel Coachworks. A 10th car, (the body of which Douglas had kept as a spare), WSM 208, was not completed until 2009, 44 years after the original nine.
