Hi Linda,
Yep, that is it. I have to say that the top looks excellent on a MK
II Sprite! I would like to get a hold of one also. I wonder how many
were made?

Mike, Donna & Spridgets,
Is this the hardtop you describe? If so it is called Warwick and
yes made by Healey. It will fit the square MKII & III as well as
the Bugeye although looks best on the MKII or MKIII (windowless
side curtain square body Sprites). I've been looking for one for 2
years ever since saw one on a square body Sprite while I read
several articles on the Healey Co. and so far I only found one in
the UK. Unfortunately even though it was on eBay the owner wouldn't
let me bid because I couldn't pick it up. From what I've heard
these Warwicks will sell for approximately $1500. if you can even
find one although I am determined to own one so I'll just have to
save up and keep looking. I think the one in the UK (needed lots of
work) sold for around $400. to $600. US dollars even with shipping
overseas it would have been a great deal. They are so cool : )
Happy motoring,
Linda
Sorry you all can't see the image, but if interested I'll send it
to those interested. I can't seem to find the website for it I only
have a pict file.

Hey you Spridgeteers,
Does anyone know who or is the owner of the iris blue '63 Sprite
with very rare Healey hardtop that raced at VIR last weekend? The
hardtop was really neat and the Sprite was excellent. I beautiful
car with the right period size tires.
