I've decided to continue with my original plan of putting together a works Sprite/Maico replica. I've got Sprite founder Frank Hipkin advising me on the project so it'll be as accurate as I can get it. I'll initially build it with my 360 squarie for pre 70 but hope to get an alloy oval top end to convert it to pre-65 just by swapping engines. We're talking 2013 for this one so no hurry.
