Very nice Sprite , it leaves me wishing I still had my 1965 Triumph TR4A

Never had the slightest interest in owning a Sprite back in the day, but I'm really enjoying this series! It's fun to watch a master tinkerer at work.

Thanks Steve for taking care of these old English cars, Not many of them left here in Canada, most rotted away from our use of road salt.Nice to see some with good body & frames on your channel. Gord Ontario Canada

Great job. Love watching you get old cards running. Nice tip on the radiator cap. Impressive step by step problem solving.

Good job! Reminds me of my 1958 Morris Minor(single SU carb). I never had any electrical problems with that car……seriously.

Well the old girl was coughing a bit at first but when she warmed up I think she sounded quite good for a car that has not really run for many years. With all new ignition parts you are getting closer to a cruise on the street. Thanks Steve for another episode on the barn sprite. 👍👍

Looking forward to an original correct speedometer installation, well worth the time and effort to find one and install.

A squirt of lock ease would help the key work

the Sprite is the purest of all sports cars - just what you need and nothing more. I went through most of this headache with my 68 Mini. Forget fixing electrics etc - strip it off and bolt on the new.

I owned a Frogeye for a while. Tended to allow water ingress to interior. Never did cure cure. Shotgun wedding forced it’s sale.

Looks like an MGA speedometer

Probably off a later Sprite.

@johnclarke2553 5 ай бұрын

@@FergusPol Every chance. My thought was that it's a Jaeger gauge. I though Sprites used Smiths.

@FergusPol 5 ай бұрын

I think you're correct. Jaeger speedos were fitted to early Midgets. One off an MGA would have the wrong wheel revs/mile unless it had been recalibrated.

I know you have been around cars for a long time but that is just not the way to prepare an engine that hasn't run in a very long time

Please more videos like this one. Longer videos like this one would be nice also.

didn't know conventional style wires and caps and coils were available for a vintage sprite. i was under the false impression, i guess, that the screw-in types were the only ones available. dangit!, i wasted a lot of time and money.
