There is something similar listed in the UK as a Sprite imported from California. Can't be sure it is the same but unusual none the less.

It looks like if a beach buggy and a super seven had a little bonnet baby..

I'm a big fan of the different fibreglass frogeye fronts but I'll make an exception in this case. It really is ugly

To be honest I dont think it is ugly.
I wouldnt buy it myself but that also counts for almost all of the tupperware-kits out there.

Fixing(cover) the headligths like on the Ferrari would look realy good on this bonnet i think.

Steady, Arie - the English queen has been shown to eat her breakfast cereal out of Tupperware® ...

The car that's been brought to the UK looks to have a modified version of the one posted at the top by Jonathan (to make it less ugly and more like the Italian Redhead).

My awarenes of the diversity of bonnets and tops for the sprites keeps growing.
