1990 Leitch Super Sprint


Specifications


Description

 

New Zealand had a long history of small garages and vehicle enthusiasts modifying and creating sports and sports racing cars.

Out of these interests grew the New Zealand kit and replica car industry with the introduction of fibre-glass car bodies in the 1950s. The Leitch Motorsport and Restoration Ltd of Invercargill make a Lotus Seven replica called the Super Sprint.

Barry Leitch started building Super Sprints in 1986 and regularly raced them competitively in local classic and sports car racing.

Super Sprints were originally available as either a kit, partially built, or fully road registered, all with several specification levels.
