Flipping through my old Road and Tracks, August 1961, "NEW SPRITE 2" on the
cover.  They report "No one can deny the Sprite 2 is better looking" (I
could hear my Bugeye wince from the garage).  They said (as they did with
the Bugeye) "it offers more fun per dollar than anything..."  all for
$1858, including the previously mandatory optional windshield wipers and
tachometer.  If you think that price is a bargain, the classifieds had:

1937 Jaguar SS100, reliable performer,   $3850
1939 Bugatti Type 57C, perfect,              $4500
1953 Ferrari Type 212, Immaculate         $3950
1955 Mercedes 300SL  Gullwing              $5950 no trades
1948 MGTC                                           $1325

Born Too Late,
Ron
