Beschreibung:

*Offered without reserve *Said to be completely overhauled and has new tyres *Original gas cooker/heater *An early example While caravans had been popular between the wars they were usually relatively heavy and, consequently, required a more powerful car to pull them. They also tended to be expensive. The Sprite company, launched in 1947 by Henry and Sam Alper, aimed to address those deficiencies. The latter took over his brother's business and launched his Sprite model in 1947. This consequently early example has very good alloy bodywork, glass and cream paint and the wheels/new tyres are vendor-assessed as excellent. The interior features the original gas cooker and heater and the seats, in blue and rose floral print, are reported to be excellent with the trim reported to be very good.
