I met John Sprinzel for the first time at Goodwood this month and it was fascinating to talk to him about building the SLRs with Chris Lawrence.

A very nice man.

If anyone wants to borrow it â€“ I have a book â€˜Spritely Yearsâ€™ by Sprinzel with a couple of pages on SLR

Leigh,

I am trying to track down a copy to buy - but if that proves unsuccessful I would love to borrow it please.

During my research into the SLRs I had begun to realise how influential John Sprinzel was, a top rally driver to boot, and I gather that Spritely Years is somewhat biographical so am keen to read it.

Have Fun
