Models: There are two slightly different Sprites on this page. The C-508 tops cover the Sprites made during 1958 and 1959 which have 9 studs on the windshield to which the top fastens.
The Mark I Sprites, from 1958 to 1961, also called "Bugeyes," have two studs plus a metal strip on the windshield. (These models have "AN5" as part of the VIN number.)
Please distinguish between the Mark I and the earlier Sprites in selecting your top.
Also note that some 1961 models are Mark II's. The Mark II cars are on a separate page. The Mark II cars had the headlights moved out to the fender fronts and were a more rectangular car.
Fabrics: The original top fabric for both tops on this page was a crush grain British vinyl. Our tops are made precisely to original patterns and use the American made counterpart crush grain vinyl. Crush grain vinyl tops are available in black or white.
We also offer the top in Haartz Stayfast canvas and in Haartz pinpoint vinyl. These fabrics offer a wider color selection. All are made with the plastic rear windows sewn in as original.
