[Spridgets] Williams & Pritchard Sebring II

[Wm. Severin Thompson]

Daniel,

 

Yes, the nose pictured here
http://www.spritespot.com/gallery/toomanyspridgets/a2 is the same as on
Redrum, pictured here http://www.thicko.com/RedrumPart2.htm on my Thicko
site.

 

It was produced by Williams & Pritchard. I never had heard of the Sebring II
name. I've always thought it looked similar to the nose the Works used on
some of the later Targa Florio cars. If you come up with any of the original
literature or advertisements, I'd love to see it.

 

I've never seen another one in person. I know there's one pictured in
"Mighty Midgets and Special Sprites".

 

I have talked to Spridgetech about pulling a mold. maybe we'll make some up.

 

WST

Hi list,

 

I've just learned about another fibreglass front that I think was discussed
on the list some time ago.  Apparently Williams & Pritchard produced
something called a Sebring II which looks like the Ashley front only with a
rectangular grill aperture.

 

Apologies if everyone knew this already - as far as I know it's not
documented in any book.

 

The link should go to the thread on the MG Cars bulletin Board

 

Regards
