Spritely Years
by John Sprinzel
Sorry--but John Sprinzel's copies of "Spritely Years" are currently sold out. There may be a few more copies available from Tom Coulthard. Please drop him an email if you're interested.
A few photos of John Sprinzel from Jonathan Whitehouse-Bird's photo album on SpriteSpot Photos, detailing the restoration of 410 EAO--one of the Sebring Sprites so closely associated with John. These are photos from the 1961 Racing Season:
