Sprite Question

The Early sprite frame that was found over here in Perth has a Frame number 3117 any idea what year or model motor this came out with from the UK

Also was there a official NZ importer of sprite motorcycles

I can't help much Murray. All the frames I came across were 7000 nos, circa 1973/74. So thats about halfway thro the prod'n run between circa '63 & '73.


On another note, I did come across a news item in Jul/Aug 89 Classic Racer announcing "pre65 Sprite Scrambler" frame kits, "replica of 63-68 Sprite frames, to suit Starmaker, T100, Maico & CZ engines".
Built by Fred Giles, Workhouse Corner, Cornwall.

Ring any bells, Mark?

You'd have to really, really want this tank ::). I gave a better one than this to a fellow forum member.

Hope the Sprite will take their place in Motorcycle History. One man thinking outside the box around the World with his Special Bikes
