Good catch Ulix, so it isn't really a '59 Mk1 Sprite at all then is it? 
(depending, of course, upon what you consider "car" and what you consider 
"replacement parts") Still, I think it's attractive enough with the 
Speedwell-type nose. (not the same as the one pictured below it)  What are 
the bumps on the rear deck?

Must have been a lot of work all around.
