British?

[Paul Jaray]

Not British,

[bubenator]

It may not be British, but the overall shape of the front fender, door, and windshield pillars look awfully similar to an MG Midget.
Midget conversion perhaps?

I know very little of this.
I have a place, make and model.
Model's name is the same of another British car but not in Mg's lineup.

Pros?

[WayneB]

Looks like an Early 60's Austin Healey Sprite that has been customised at Barris Kustom or maybe Dean Jeffries in California.

[Paul Jaray]

I'll have more detail about this car in the future.
It can be a customised Sprite, since 'Sprite' is its name!
Locked for you for the maker, that is not Barris or Dean Jeffries.

Noticed the maltese cross on the bonnet, its not by Von Dutch AKA Kenny Howard is it?

[Paul Jaray]

I have a make and model name (Sprite).
I think I know the place too (from the license plate plus another detail not visible).
I'll have all the answers soon.
The car is called XXXXXX Sprite and cames from YYYYYY. (Don't count Xs and Ys)
That's all I need to know for a point. I'll post the rest myself when I'll have it.
Not Von Dutch\Kenny Howard.
Unlocked.

CAM Sprite, 1971

[Paul Jaray]

That is all I now so far.
I bought that magazine (and few more) and should have more info in few weeks.
Another point goes to you Pal and to WayneB.
I'll award the points now but I'll keep it here untill I'll receive more info.

[Paul Jaray]

I received the magazine.
I'm going to post more pics soon. (please remind me if I forget)
It was built by Barry Reibel, from Woy Woy, NSW, starting from a wrecked MKIII Sprite.
"On the centre is the familiar CAM trade mark. I originally designed this when CAMS (Confederation of Australian Motor Sport) wouldn't allow advertising on racing cars. Tehy would allow an insigna, so we used this for advertising purpouses. We had a lot of trouble getting it registered at first because it resembled the German airforce insigna!"
