For sale is my Banham Sprint - a replica of the iconic Frog Eye Sprite based on Mini floor pans and running gear.

Although quite complete it is still a big project. It has been sat in a barn for a number of years and I am pretty sure it has never been completed.

The engine is a 998cc standard Mini unit which I have never personally heard running. The gear selector rods have been extended and the selector re mounted further back in the car.

The floor pans are standard Mini but the bodyshell is a full fibreglass tub with removable fibreglass front end. All the floors are solid as is the rear heelboard (where the rear subframe mounts to).

There is no rear subframe included although I do have one for sale (please see the parts section).

Some lights are included aswell as the fibreglass Banham dashboard. The hood is also included and looks to be in great shape. Just needs a thorough clean.

The logbook that comes with the car is from the original Mini that it was based on. I have the VIN plates to match too.

Ideal winter project that could be brilliant fun when finished, at the fraction of the cost of an original.

£375 for everything.

Collection from BS48 near Bristol.

Cheers
Dan
