SPRITE MOTORCYCLES WERE MANUFACTURED IN BRITAIN BY FRANK HIPKIN, WHO WAS AN ACE TRIALS RIDER FROM THE 60'S ERA.
THIS SPRITE WAS INITIALLY PURCHASED BY A CUSTOMER IN EUROPE IN 1965, THEN FINALLY RETURNED TO THE UK IN 2010, WHERE IT RECEIVED AN AGE RELATED UK REGISTRATION NUMBER. THE REGISTRATION NUMBER IS NON TRANSFERABLE. THE SPRITE IS REGISTERED IN MY NAME.
AM OPEN TO A BEST OFFER, BUT YOU REALLY SHOULD SEE IT AND TRY IT OUT FIRST.
