If your car has any W&P Sebring GT bodywork on it, please contact us as we would love to know about it. You do not have to add your car to the Register (which is free) or to this website if you do not want to do so, but we are always pleased to add new cars where possible. All material is cleared with the provider before publication.

Identify your car to the masses - a high quality self-cling Register car sticker with the W&P logo will be sent free to owners of cars added to the Register, extra stickers are available at cost (£3 each including p&p).

If you have any further information on Williams & Pritchard generally which you would like to share, please also get in touch. We are also keen to hear from the owners of any non-spridget W&P bodied cars (whether Sebring GT or bespoke bodywork), and if there is sufficient demand the scope of the Register could be widened to encompass other W&P bodied cars.

Please get in touch with Tim Saunders, Registrar, using the email link on the left.

identify your car to the masses!
