 I saw this over on the California Streets blog, but it caught my attention since its Austin Sprite like our project car “The Hundred Dollar Healey“. Unlike our car that is being built with all vintage parts this one has been built with a modern take on the Sprite styling, overall the car does not look bad (I take exception with the seats). Anyone know more about it? If so post in the comments, the car was spotted in El Segundo, California. You can see more images of the car on the California Streets Blog.
