	thanks Mylittletony and Crockpot. They certainly are a major part of my history, having owned them since 1970 and 1973 respectively, mind you the V8 Sprite is very much a "Triggers Broom"!...there is a sort of build thread on here.

	Still not sold, so the price is now £15,000 for the 1958 All Steel Sprite and £10,000 for the V8 Sprite (£ 24,000 for the pair) - both have lots of spares and are on SORN.
