Vehicle Description
The Austin-Healey Sprite is a small open sports car which was produced in the United Kingdom from 1958 to 1971. It was intended to be a low-cost model that "a chap could keep in his bike shed", yet be the successor to the sporting versions of the pre-war Austin Seven. The Sprite quickly became affectionately known as the "frogeye" in the UK and the "bugeye" in the US, because its headlights were prominently mounted on top of the bonnet, inboard of the front wings. The cars featured a 948cc Inline 4 cylinder engine that pumps out a heart stopping 43hp and was capable of propelling the Sprite to a top speed of over 80mph. GR Auto Gallery is pleased to present this lovely cute 1960 Sprite for your consideration. Finished in Iris Blue, this little car is in wonderful condition inside and out.
