Of that vintage (circa 1970 ish) the 12 ft Spite was the Alpine, the 14 ft was the Muskateer, and the 16 ft the Major. This is a 10 ft model and for the life of me I cannot recall what model name it had. perhaps it didn't. Now where is my anorak?

Hi Richard,

The baby of the Sprite range (in that photo) was the 400, it didnt have a proper name sadly.
Sprites were certainly the commonest caravans during our family holidays in that era, usually the Alpine and Musketeer. I don't remember seeing that many Majors about, probably getting a bit large, heavy or expensive.

Thanks for the memories!
