Bob,
Please pass my address on to Mike Jennings, as I own the 1959-60
"Falcon-bodied Sprite", 5983AC, which was built at the Cape by Geof
Healey and Roger Menadue. This car was introduced at the 1959 Nassau
Speed weeks and went on to win its class again at 1960 Sebring 12hr,
LeMans 24hr and that years Nassau races. It was then imported into the
US.
This car is currently under restoration with the hope it can be ready to
compete in some of the Sprite races next year.
