Includes an overview of the basic model, and a road test of the de  
luxe model.  I also included exceprpts from the "news and views"  
section which announced that the donald healey motor company wouldnt  
be able to supercharge a MKII just yet even though elsewhere in the  
same magazine a Shorrock ad was found that offered a MKII kit.  Also  
in that same section was an announcement that BMC would now offer  
seatbelt mounting points standard on every car they sell.  In the PDF  
linked from the article below you will also find a report on the  
Scottish rally where three sprites competed.  However the article  
makes only passing mention of those cars so I haven't put it on the  
webpage (if anyone thinks I should, then I might do that).
