1965 AUSTIN SPRITE SEBRING EVOCATION


The Austin Sebring Sprite was introduced to the public at the London Racing Car Show in January 1961. Only six cars were produced, two of which travelled to the United States to be raced at Sebring in the hands of Stirling Moss and his sister Pat, Britain’s most successful female rally driver. The Sprite was continually developed over the next few years culminating in the most iconic and successful of these, the John Sprinzels designed cars.
The Austin Sebring Sprite Evocation offered here at Autostorico is a 1965 registered Sebring, finished in Jaguar Opalescent Gunmetal Grey with Bordeaux Red leather interior. This exceptional car was professionally built in 2011 from a 1965 MG Midget by Severn Classics for a client who spared no expense on a nut and bolt rebuild. The works began by shot blasting the car back to bare metal including chassis. All serviceable panels were used with new B posts and floor fitted. An FIA approved roll cage was fitted prior to the John Sprinzel endorsed “Archers Garage” Sebring body conversion. Attention then turned to the mechanical components with the 1275cc BMC engine being fully rebuilt to original factory specification including unleaded conversion. The gearbox and rear differential have been fully rebuilt by Universal Transmissions. Other significant work included; Full suspension rebuild including new bushes and bearings, Complete braking system overhaul, New cloth covered wiring loom, Full interior re-trim including period seats, carpets and dashboard top. The project was finished off with the addition of powder-coated wire wheels, side screens, Moto-Lita steering wheel and race harness. This remarkable vehicle, with its sporty feel, will give the new owner many hours of fun both on the road and track.
Supplied with a current MOT certificate with no advisories which is valid until November 2018 and current V5 registration document.

1997 LOTUS ELISE SERIES I


We are pleased to have for sale this stunning Lotus Elise Series 1 finished in the traditional British racing green. 

Purity is a fragile and vulnerable thing and in August 1996, the revolutionary new Lotus Elise seemed to ooze purity from every extruded anodised aluminium and epoxy resin crevice, with nothing superfluous subtracting from the essence of this truly minimalist, focused little sports car. Although 'beautiful to behold' it certainly was, the time-honoured relationship between 'form and function' was clearly evident in the way it went and handled with its lightweight chassis-tub at 731kg failing to daunt the enthusiasm of the mid-mounted, 1.8-litre K-series engine, and its 118bhp was enough for a 0-60mph time in the low sixes allied to decent pull in the higher ratios. Clothed in two-piece 'clamshell' fibreglass bodywork, the featherweight two-door also featured all round double-wishbone independent coil-over suspension, rack and pinion steering, four-wheel ventilated disc brakes, and a five-speed gearbox. 

Designer Julian Thomson and engineer Richard Rackham were keen to create a car with something of a motorcycle’s feel, and they undoubtedly succeeded, as is evident as much as in the aluminium-and-rubber interior and neat little Stack instrument panel, as in the car's dynamic intimacy with the road, the wind, and the weather. The Elise was a reaction to the corpulent world of leather, luxury, and levers becoming increasingly evident in Lotus road cars, and was an attempt to recreate Colin Chapman’s early principles before he abandoned them in a move upmarket. The early cars were followed in 2002 by the Series 2 and any number of special models with various engine options and greater levels of creature comfort and they're all great, but the simpler, more demure Series 1 still defines the breed.

The 1997 Lotus Elise S1 (series 1) offered here was supplied new by Bell & Colvill. It has covered a mere 1,633 miles from new and is one of the very early lightweight series cars which featured composite brake discs and an aluminium engine cover in the quest for the lowest possible kerb weight. 


It presents superbly in 'Racing Green Metallic' with Magnolia hide and is fitted with a 'Momo' steering wheel, built in driving lights, and Perspex headlamp covers. It is virtually immaculate and presents exactly as you would expect at this mileage.

Surely the finest example you will find anywhere in one of the best colour schemes! Already a "classic" and beginning to appreciate, the Elise Series 1 is certain to be a smart investment for years to come.
