The metal handle originally used on all Sprites, Midgets, and MGBs up to 1967 is no longer available. In 1968 this was replaced by a much less expensive black plastic handle (Part No: CZA7109) which was designed to break off in the event of an accident. They were also prone to breaking in use, a source of understandable frustration. We offer the original black plastic handle and a metal, chrome plated version for those looking for something different. Sold separately.
