love seeing another bug come back to life
the Sprite is the purest of all sports cars - just what you need and nothing more. I went through most of this headache with my 68 Mini. Forget fixing electrics etc - strip it off and bolt on the new.
Never had the slightest interest in owning a Sprite back in the day, but I'm really enjoying this series! It's fun to watch a master tinkerer at work.
Very nice Sprite , it leaves me wishing I still had my 1965 Triumph TR4A
Looking forward to an original correct speedometer installation, well worth the time and effort to find one and install.
Nice video. Learning and entertaining at the same time
Great job. Love watching you get old cards running. Nice tip on the radiator cap. Impressive step by step problem solving.
Thanks Steve for taking care of these old English cars, Not many of them left here in Canada, most rotted away from our use of road salt.Nice to see some with good body & frames on your channel. Gord Ontario Canada
Please more videos like this one. Longer videos like this one would be nice also.
Well the old girl was coughing a bit at first but when she warmed up I think she sounded quite good for a car that has not really run for many years. With all new ignition parts you are getting closer to a cruise on the street. Thanks Steve for another episode on the barn sprite. 👍👍
Barn Sprite 3
It’s great to hear it running and with new electrics
I’d love to see and hear more about this car👍🏻
Good job! Reminds me of my 1958 Morris Minor(single SU carb). I never had any electrical problems with that car……seriously.
A friend of mine has one of these. Such a tiny car!
This car is in very good hands.
Always learn something new in your videos. Thanks a lot for posting them!
Great to see the car come back to life. It was just waiting for someone to care for it!
Yes sir Steve, more vids on this car! Thanks man!
Loving the Sprite videos, keep rhem coming 👍🙏
Love these videos recommissioning the old cars 👍
New logo looks good! Picking up a 60 Sprite tomorrow.
Steve Another Fantastic Video Chucked Full of Information -- Again Thank You So Much for Making These For Us -- Much Appreciated -- Top Notch
Another great video Steve. I learn something from every one of your videos.
Excellent video Steve :) also very cool car yes and all vechiles too ! Also looking forward more videos too!
A squirt of lock ease would help the key work
Great stuff! That speedo will be hard to source though.
AWESOME!
More Sprite Please
I owned a Frogeye for a while. Tended to allow water ingress to interior. Never did cure cure. Shotgun wedding forced it’s sale.
great stuff thanks
didn't know conventional style wires and caps and coils were available for a vintage sprite. i was under the false impression, i guess, that the screw-in types were the only ones available. dangit!, i wasted a lot of time and money.
Yes that is old Peace out
More marvellous Myers mechanicking!!!
Favorite kind of video you make! CaliperHQ
Looks like an MGA speedo
Looks like an MGA speedometer
Probably off a later Sprite.
@@FergusPol Every chance. My thought was that it's a Jaeger gauge. I though Sprites used Smiths.
I think you're correct. Jaeger speedos were fitted to early Midgets. One off an MGA would have the wrong wheel revs/mile unless it had been recalibrated.
I know you have been around cars for a long time but that is just not the way to prepare an engine that hasn't run in a very long time
