Hi Larry and Gerard. What I should have said is that ours was the only one I
have spotted since the 60's. For some reason, there do seem to be a lot of
surviving originally Nevada Beiges around that have been painted over. They
only made them for a year. At any rate, until last year I did not have what
I considered a reliable spotting of an original or restoration one other
than my own. Now I have 2 more. Maybe they will all be at Healey
International in 2002.
I inadvertantly fibbed about the Sprite Spree. It's really in Carlisle
Pennsylvania probably. April or May 2003 is a fair guess.
