I couldn't load the photos, but according to my copy of Horler's
"Original Sprite and Midget" your chassis number dates from about April
1960.

Subject: Re: trying to figure a fair price 
OK folks- 
Could these be the photos of my next project? 
Any help you can give me in calculating a fair price for this vehicle
will be 
appreciated. I cannot determine the engine type. The engine serial
number 
plate is missing. I have not yet been able to use Bob Walker's
suggestion to 
check the stamp on the carb side of the block 3" over the pan, but that
is 
what I will do next IF I can get to that area. The car serial number is
AN5L 
/ 38239. The trim around the "cockpit" is in vinyl instead of aluminum.
The 
coil is in a different location than on my 1959. Does anyone know what
size 
engine would have been in this particular car based on its serial
number? It 
seems as though I have seen somewhere a reference which tells at which
car and 
engine #'s the displacements changed. The motor turns over, so she's not
frozen up. I'm guessing it's a 1960.
