Bob and Annice, you are completely correct. The 63 Sprite I had, had the exact
same dash. According to the OS&M, it was offered on the HAN7 Sprites and GAN2
Midgets only. This coincided with the introduction of the 1098 engine into our
cars. These were the instrument panels used from Sept 62 until Jan 64. There is
a
photo of this dash on page 56.
