While browsing the MG Web Ring I came across the following and wondered if
Frank might want another Sprite to restore. It would probably be free to
anyone willing to dig it up. Since Frank is a building contractor I figured
he would have access to a backhoe.

When I was younger, about 19 years younger, I purchased a 1967 Austin Healey
Sprite for $75. The car was in the middle of a complete restoration in which
the owner had lost interest. I towed the car to my parent's house and
proceeded to reassemble all of the various parts which were in cardboard
boxes and milk crates. Armed with nothing other than a Hayes manual and a
Moss Motoring catalog, I got the whole thing running and through NJ state
inspection. When I brought home a Volvo to restore my father decided I had
one car too many, so he dug a hole with a backhoe and buried the Sprite.
