Amici...

Bill Thompson, the Flounder at TEAM THICKO, asked me to pass this info along 
to all in the TRIUMPH community.  It concerns John Sprinzel (Speedwell 
Sprites, etc.,) and a rare book long out of print.  I've met Mr. Sprinzel several 
times.  He's a really neat guy, full of great stories.  If interested, here's the 
info:

Here's your chance to get a copy of a book long out of print. Original
copies have gone for hundreds of dollars on Ebay.  John Sprinzel has 
reprinted "Spritely Years" after buying the rights and the acetates back from Haynes. 

This is a "must have" for anyone interested in Sprites, Healeys, Triumph,
Ford, rallying, and a host of other cars John drove during his career. It's
an honest, informative, funny look at John's life as a driver, tuner,
manufacturer, etc.

Only 500 copies were produced for the 50th Sprite year anniversary, so that
they will still be fairly rare.  He is selling them autographed at $65 
including postage in the US ($71.00 overseas) .
 
His address is P.O. Box 97 Kaunakakai HI 96748

John's e-mail  address for this is johnsebring65 at gmail.com .

He does have Paypal, (though he says, "I am not yet too sure how it all
works"), otherwise US check or money order will do the trick. 

He'll have a few copies at the Sprite deal  in May, and Tom Coulthard
(co-author) might be there to sign them as well.
