British Speedwell Racing here in San Diego offers a fiberglass replica
of the Speedwell Monza bonnet (the three-hole competition version) from
a mold taken from an original Sebring Coupe (My racing Sprite roadster
has one of the bonnets, see
http://pw2.netcom.com/~rsnover/sprite/980926.html). They'd be happy to
do a complete Sebring Sprite replica for you, or most anything in
between. See http://www.toyshop-resto.com/pages/britspd.html
