Comments on this vehicle –
That's a really cool hardtop you got there!
Thanks for the comment. The Sebring GT fastback was built by the UK's leading sports car builde - Williams & Pritchard. You may not know the name but the built the bodies for all the early Lotus cars as well as racing bodies for Lister, Jaguar, Deep Sanderson and MG for use at Le Mans, Sebring and Nurburgring amongst others. A brief foray into glass fibre hardtops and bonnets in the late 1960's before the untimely death of Charlie Williams and the companies susequent pull out of the galss fibre business to refocus on bespoke alloy bodies. For more n this have a look at the www.williamsandpritchardregister.co.uk - a fantastic site!
Finally got the staerter motor changed after my little fire problem! Next job is to swap the bonnet for an SAH fibreglass one. Thse have the nice side vents and faired in headlights. I'll be Conifer with a white nose/stripe which will continue over the fastback roof and Kamm tail. The intention is to use her almost exclusively for motorsport then with the Spitfire MK1 as a stock road car (another early Spitfire4 might be joining the collection too!) Photos when I can :-)
