In the upcoming May issue of Austin-Healey Magazine, there will be a full 
article on the just-restoredd #53 Sprite which took second in class at Sebring in 
1959. That car was painted Speedwell Blue with an Ivory Jensen's hardtop. The 
main trim in that car, copied from the original interior which was still in 
the car, looks very similar to the dark blue used in the big Healeys of the 
same period. The only difference was that the welting was light blue, matching 
the exterior color, rather than the ivory color used on the big Healeys.
