Welcome, Ben to the list. We will forgive the Porsche background. .
.everybody should be forgiven at least once and have an opportunity to
repent. You WILL have to trade in the Lager for Guinness. 8^) The

Cost is relative, but if cost is all you are considering you would be best
picking up a running Sprite in pretty good conditon than going for a
restoration. A restoration will cost you lots more than buying one already
completed. OTOH, I am restoring because it does not cost as much out of
pocket, and because I want to learn as much as possible about my Sprite, plus
there is a pride in driving a self-restored vehicle. Either way, be prepared
to be a mechanic, as a restored LBC will require lots of repair, maintenance,
and a steady supply of parts ($). Still cheaper than driving a new sports
car, and lots more fun.
