Sounds a cracking car, any photos on here of it?tangocharlie1 wrote: ↑Fri Aug 09, 2019 10:09 amLen's Sprint is probably the most original early one in existence being low mileage and never been restored, as such it is key as acting as reference point for anyone wishing to restore the very early cars. To that end Len makes every step to keep it historically correct.Is the no electronic ignition due to regulations in a racing series? Otherwise I can't see the point of sticking with old tech. Points and condensers are an inherently crap way of switching a coil, an electronic system is far superior.
It is probably only 2nd to the one at the Coventry Museum but in much better condition

Re: Service Parts
Intermotor stuff bought from MG club shop on my Sprint, been fine for the past 5 years. No I don't own an MG, they're just local, and I like to park my Sprint in the car park so that the MG owners get a look at a proper car that shifts.
Lovely looking Sprint that!
