Protecting the Sprite
One of the few disadvantages of the Austin Healey Sprite is the fact that no door locks are provided and, as we found to our cost, it is far too easy to steal. Unfortunately no one has come up with a door lock kit but Cambridge Nemo Plating Ltd., of Union Lane, Cambridge, are now making a partition to fit behind the seats which seals off the boot. The lockable centre part of the panel hinges forward and leaves an opening large enough to admit a good-sized suitcase.
