Midget & Sprite Club to launch “most improved apprentice” award
The Midget and Sprite Club is proud to announce the launch of a new initiative to support the next generation of classic car enthusiasts and businesses. With the support of the Federation of British Historic Vehicle Clubs (FBHVC), and as part of our ongoing commitment to the preservation of our classic vehicles, we are introducing the Midget and Sprite Club Award for the “Most Improved” Heritage Skills Apprentice.
Attend any classic car event, and you’ll hear conversations about the future of our beloved vehicles: who will inherit our passion, knowledge, and cars? This is a concern not just for us, but for all sectors of the classic vehicle community, from vintage and veteran cars to motorcycles, buses, and trucks. So, beginning at the NEC Classic Motor Show this November, we will present an annual award with the winner receiving a trophy, £300, and a one-year membership to the club.
