\"\"<\/a>The Sprite Car Club was first established in 1972 by Reinhard Walker, Richard Stokes, Mandy Stokes, Dean King, Helen King , Kevin Warren and Marilyn Warren. The idea of forming a Club grew from a mutual interest in Sprites .In August 1972, two Sprite owners\/ enthusiasts were looking for spare parts at an auto wrecker when a third Sprite owner\/enthusiast arrived on the scene for the same reason. They decided a Sprite Club was needed, and to tag as many Sprite owners as possible. <\/p>\n

The inaugural meeting of the Sprite Club of South Australia was held in the staff live-in quarters of the National Bank in North Adelaide on Wednesday, 13 September, 1972. Approximately ten people were present and elected Kevin Warren as President and Joe Walker as Secretary.<\/p>\n

The rest as they say is History.<\/p>\n

All of the surviving founding members are still active in the Club.<\/p>\n

With over 120 members and a good variety  of events throughout the year, including Club runs, Sprints, Weekends away, Barbeques, Social outings and Motor sport, the Club has continued to grow.
\n\"\"<\/a>The Sprite Club fosters the spirit of community and the love for British Sports cars and above all exists to Promote, Foster and Preserve the Austin-Healey Sprite and MG Midget.<\/p>\n

Communication is through this website.<\/p>\n

Membership is is open to Sprite\/ MG Midget owners for an annual fee, currently set at $50.00 per member (partners included) and a one off $50 joining fee.<\/p>\n
