Sprinting About

Here are some of the '61 - Olde Faithful

The addition of a 5th gear from a 1600 box had made for very relaxed cruising, note the oil pressure.........

This was a run we did 2 years ago, 2400kms, basically trouble free, excepting for no lights on the Sprint for the return run. This was the changeover point from Sprint to Spider as from the rear view mirror in the Sprint I could just see the top of Mum's head in the Spider, she was trying to hide from the wind - Dad doesn't believe in using the top. We swapped cars as the Sprint has a decent heater & was quite toasty inside. Mum was happy, Dad not so happy...... so we bought another Spider for him, also a '60.

Giulietta's are FUN

(note to self: Don't lend the Sprint out again - the last person decided to fit new headlights from my stores - exit the rare 6V sealed beams for my '35 Renault Cabrio).
