[Spridgets] Innocenti Article

[Jay Fishbein]

Thank you Kim. Yes I was aware of it as well as a sister article on the same set of cars that was in Auto Italia.

The coupe is interesting. Actually the "regular" Spider is an interesting "Sprite. It is almost 6" wider and quite "modern" for it's time. You know you're driving a Sprite, but one with a bit more room and creature comforts.

Mine has a fresh 1275 in it with a genuine Gold Seal ribcase box I got from fellow lister Jim Rogers some years ago. Thankfully the rains have subsided, so I am able to enjoy the car.

Thanks again for the heads-up.

PS Ed at Just Brits also has the earlier T&CC article on the Innocenti posted on his website.

Just want to make sure Jay has seen the Innocenti article in the August
issue of Thoroughbred & Classic cars. I picked up a copy on the local news
stand over the weekend. First time I've ever seen photographs of the coupe
version, a '66 White LHD. Very nice looking!
