The Sprite Car Club of Australia (Inc)

The oldest continuous Sprite Car Club in the world!

The Sprite Car Club of Australia (Inc) Inc. caters for the interests of owners, drivers and fans of Austin Healey Sprites and MG Midgets in New South Wales. You will find similar Clubs in Victoria and South Australia. Started in June 1960, we have the honour of being the oldest continuously running Sprite and Midget club in the world.

In the following pages, you'll find information on our Club and the types of activities in which we are involved, as well as technical information, and history on Spridgets, particularly as regards to Australia.

Sprite - Cairns to Hobart

Australia Down for Depression is a charity drive aimed at raising awareness for depression and those suffering from the illness here in Australia. From 13th to 28th May, Luke Lukess will drive his Bugeye sprite from Cairns to Hobart to raise money and awareness for depression.

The aim is to raise $5000 for SANE Australia. For more information and to make a donation, please visit the Australia Down For Depression web site.

Club Meetings

Club meetings are held on the second Tuesday night of every month. The meetings are currently held at:

Parramatta RSL
2 Macquarie Street, Parramatta, NSW
(on the corner of Parramatta Park)
Start time: 7:30pm - in the Bistro

Parking is in the parking station on your right opposite the RSL.

Our meetings while having a set agenda to cover, are friendly and informal, and cover a variety of topics including:

reports on past social and competition events
details of upcoming social and competition events
for sales and wanted
technical queries and information
a guest speaker
other matters concerning the club and members

So even if you feel that you can't come along to a Club drive because your car isn't on the road yet, the meetings are a great way to meet the other members and learn lots about your car in the process. By the way, there's a nasty rumour circulating that some of our members even find the meetings fun....

Email List - Discussion Group

Our email list is used to distribute details of cars that may come up for sale, reminders of upcoming club events, notices about interesting Web sites, technical enquires, etc.

You don't need to be a Sprite Car Club member to join the list and can add and remove yourself from the email list/discussion group at any time. Go to the Sprite Cub Forum.
