History of Car and any work or modifications carried out: I have owned 3 Spridgets roughly around 16 years, I love them. This my 3rd an early Mk 1 Gan 1. The heritage certificate indicating a build date 15 – 20 March 1962 originally in Ice blue with dark blue interior exported to Rhodesia, it still retains its original Northern Motors commission plate.
I wanted an early example but benefitting from some upgrades. It was rebuilt around 15 years ago with a colour change to flame red & was fitted with a tuned 1275 engine & Mazda 5 Speed gearbox. This really does make for some exciting driving & I love the fact that the car still looks largely original.
There’s not too much history so I’m trying to fill in the gaps. I would welcome any information that members may know and can be contacted via email.
