Special aluminum-bodied Sprite race cars

[Moderator]

You guys ever heard of a "WSM"?

They're mentioned and shown in a photograph in this nifty new British V8 article: http://www.britishv8.org/MG/GeorgeSnively.htm

Any additional information on them (especially detailed photos!) sure would be appreciated.

Not to be confused with the Sprinzel Sebring Sprites...

By the way, I found some awesome photos of Sprinzel Sprites here: http://www.spritespot.com/gallery/sprinzelsebringsprite
(about 256 large, high-quality and detailed photos!)

Curtis, here is a website devoted to the WSM cars, I found it by searching "WSM Sprite".

lotsa pix and history.
My wife and I stayed at a quaint B&B near Cheltenham last summer, and went to the VSCC 75th Anniversary event at nearby Prescott. The B&B owners, Anna and Clive Rooke, are listed on the WSM site with pictures of their car back in the 60's.
If anyone is thinking about seeing that part of England, and especially Prescott Hill Climb, I would recommend checking with Frog Furlong Cottage and the Rookes. It's only 12 miles to Prescott, a bit more to the Morgan factory in Malvern, and nice country all around. One good hour from Heathrow by car if you don't get turned around like somebody I know...

You would have a hard time finding a real one like this but they make fiberglass parts to clone one and all you need is a Midget !
