Brad,
The last Sprites, both AH Sprites and Austin Sprites, were never imported to
the US. There is some confusion that this car is listed as a '71 and I can't
explain that other than to speculate that it was given a model year when it was
first registered. Maybe one of our UK listers can shed some light on this
burning question.
