Mark III production started October 1966. A better way to identify is:
Bugeye - Sprite Mk I
Side curtains - Sprite Mk II, Midget Mk I
Wind ups/1098 - Sprite Mk III, Midget Mk II
Wind ups/1275 - Sprite Mk IV, Midget Mk III
Black bumpers - Midget 1500
There are also other, more subtle differences. Of course, this assumes
that the motor, doors and bumpers are original... sf
