I can't help much Murray. All the frames I came across were 7000 nos, circa 73/74. So thats about halfway thro the prod'n run between circa 63 & 73.
On another note, I did come across a news item in Jul/Aug 89 Classic Racer announcing "pre65 Sprite Scrambler" frame kits, "replica of 63-68 Sprite frames, to suit Starmaker, T100, Maico & CZ engines".
Built by Fred Giles, Workhouse Corner, Cornwall.
Ring any bells, Mark?

Sad news
This thread has 56 pages and 55000 views which Frank followed via Firko with a few posts
Hope the Sprite will take their place in Motorcycle History. One man thinking outside the box around the World with his Special Bikes
RIP Frank
