When I set out to buy a LC last summer, I was interested in everything but sprites. But obviously things changed... I would like to hear from some people who have owned all sorts of different LCs ove

I had a 67 Sunbeam Alpine for several years. A pretty car, but didn't seem as quick as the Spridget. Seemed kinda heavy for it's engine. Also, it shed parts continually. We used to joke that the Alpi

You'll get no trouble from me. Exactly ! Spridgets are the VW Bug of LBC's. Quick, cute, reliable (for a brit car) and replacement parts are abundant and cheaper than most others. When I was trying t

Having owned a few of those that you list, pre-74 911, 356A, Sunbeam Alpine, 3 MGB's, MGC GT, Morris, and many many Spridgets, the Spridget is hands down the most fun. Plenty of parts for all of the

I started driving with a Sprite, had a Sunbeam for a short while, bought a new Spitfire, had a Mini, MGB, Jag, and an Austin A40 Farina. I love the Sprites! There are no better people in the world t

X1/9 PRO: Unbelievable roadholding coupled with great feedback and easy to control handling past the limit of adhesion. Extremely stiff chassis. 1300 has super short stroke for high revs. With a K&N

Isn't this one of those "oxymorons?" Like "Sports Sedan" or "Japanese Luxury" car? How does one handle *past* the limits of adhesion? When I'm sliding sideways, I'm white knuckled and I have racing s

Seriously, once past the limit, you are no longer adhering but sliding which can still be influenced especially if some tires still have traction (the fronts). Get the thing sideways, take the hands

Yup, you're right -- a spridget seat is the place to be. I passed on buying my neighbor's bugeye a few years back -- got a VW beetle instead. The beetle was a lots of fun (especially after I got the

I had a '68 Fiat 850 Spyder back around '71, I think. In its own way, it was as much fun as the Bugeye, and a LOT more refined in the bargain. I've never owned another car that I could drive as fast

Excuse me for asking, but what kind of BMW do you have. I have just purchased a 82 320 and was surprised by the lack of web presence that BMW's have. I know in looking for LBC web pages, that the MGB
