Spridgumph? Er....no. >>Technically<< the "Spri" would be incorrect
because they'd stopped using the "Sprite" moniker before they went to the
1500cc Triumph Spitfire engine. I suppose "Midgumph" or the more commonly
used "Spitfidget", would be considered proper. <grin>
Reminds me though, at a recent British Car Day in Columbus, Ohio someone
brought a "Chevumph". A Triumph TR-7 with some sort of H-U-G-E, heavily
chromed Chevy V-8 shoehorned in there. I have no idea what it is like as a
car, but it made for a pretty cool 3-d puzzle! (We all figured that the
guy cut the front of the car off at the firewall, fit the engine and
transmission, then rebuilt the front of the car around the engine.)
