Here is a scan of a reprint that was sent to Peter Howe of Biggin Hill in a sales pack sent to him direct from the factory way back in 1967
The Sprite came from an idea of Leonard Lord for a modern day Austin 7 Nippy & Uster, as well as an indirect replacement to the Austin A40 Sport.
The Frog Face looks came about because the proposed retractable headlights turned out to be unpracticable.
Under the skin there were a lot of parts from BMC's parts bins.
278AXY was registered in London in June 1960 as Austin Healey Sprite 948cc, last taxed on 1 September 1984.

Fido Dido lives on in Bangalore. This will be my last upload for a little bit; I've plowed through my first big batch of India scans and now it's time to go back to feeding film into the scanner. COMING SOON: Hampi! Badami! Mysore!

Although there was no indication in people.ee.duke.edu/~cummer/cmc/new6 of sprite activity, a extremely active, continuous lightning display was occurring to my north from dusk through 11:30PM when more clouds moved into my area.
I was attempting to capture some pre-peak activity of the Perseids Meteor Shower, when this lightning storm appeared. In nearly two hours, a recorded at least 15 sprite events. These images are the better ones.
Used Nikon d7100, Nikkor 35mm f/1.4 @ f/2.8 (not f/5.6), iso 1600, and exposure of 10s. Photoshop was used to increase contrast and reduce some noise (grainness).
.A couple of years ago my guild had Cristi in for a class where we made sprites. I had set mine aside until this year when I came across it and it prompted me to make more. These two are for a friend of mine for her grandchildren. One has a tiny shell, a sea horse and a star fish. The other has a kitten and a mouse.
MSC Sprite was one of a class of three vessels built for the Manchester Ship Canal Company shortly after the Second World War. They were all given pixie names beginning with S. the other two were MSC Sylph and MSC Syrinx.
These small handy vessels were used for many purposes, directors launch, inspection launch, survey launch, tug and ferry to name a few, before being sold off as pleasure boats
Dimensions were 33 feet 6 inches LOA. X 8 feet Beam X 4 feet Draught and they were powered by 3 cylinder Russell Newbury engines.
If anyone has any recollection, knows of any history, has any photos, or further information of any of these boats I would dearly like hear of it.

The Austin-Healey Sprite is a small open sports car which was produced in the United Kingdom from 1958 to 1971. The Sprite was announced to the press in Monte Carlo by the British Motor Corporation on 20 May 1958, just before that year's Monaco Grand Prix. It was intended to be a low-cost model that "a chap could keep in his bike shed", yet be the successor to the sporting versions of the pre-war Austin Seven. The Sprite was designed by the Donald Healey Motor Company, with production being undertaken at the MG factory at Abingdon. It first went on sale at a price of £669, using a tuned version of the Austin A-Series engine and as many other components from existing cars as possible to keep costs down.
My friend was giving away bags (!!!) of old doll clothes from her childhood, and I found this amazing outfit which fit my BBB Sprite perfectly !
The shirt says "Why am I wearing red suspenders ?" and the back trouser pocket reads "To keep my pants up !"

This type of sprite is often referred to as a "carrot" formation.
I have been interested in Odonates for a dozen years and there are only a handful of species that I was able to easily identify early in this process. Sedge Sprites are one of those species and a gorgeous little creatures.
