Long chat with Will Corry on Friday discussing getting YFY 467 back onto four wheels which will take between four and five days.
Tomorrow will see me finalising the parts and placing an order with the very helpful David at Peter May Engineering. I hope to post more photos soon once the rebuilt commences. Fingers crossed she will be ready for the Sprites 60th anniversary celebrations.

Thanks took me along time to decide a colour it all came together when I saw a motorbike at an exhibition some time ago!

Your pics are great, maybe you could create a book about your build! Glad to see Sir Stirling still gets the respect he deserves too. Also delighted to see Spridgets moving from “beginners race car” to “giant killer” status. The amount of professional effort being expended should result in a beautiful, fast, useful little gem. Thanks for all the details. The flywheel is a masterpiece! Helps to explain the incredible power seemingly being generated. I hope (somewhere) the Healeys are enjoying your efforts.
