Actually, it is the other way around. A firm in England are doing new
Frogeye bodyshells. They are called Wheeler and Davies. Brian Archer
will take one of these shells and turn it into a Sebring Sprite for you
(not a Speedwell).
Heritage does make the later chrome bumper 1/2 elliptic shells. Last I
looked they cost $4,000.
