They elaborated on the success of the Austin Seven during the production and the goal was to make this car affordable for ordinary people’s budget. In 1958, the Austin Healey Sprite MkI was marketed by manufacturer British Motor Corporation (BMC). In order to reduce the costs as much as possible, a previously existing slightly improved engine from the Austin "A" series was used as a power source for this car.

The Sprite was originally designed by manufacturers of the Donald Healey Motor Company who, however, resold the rights to BMC.
Due to its distinctive look with upright convex headlights, the Austin Healey Sprite got the nicknames Frogeye or Bugeye. They actually wanted the model to have folding headlights but due to the extra production costs, they cancelled that and secured the headlights, thereby giving the car its own identity.

It is recommended to view the vehicle prior to placing a bid in order to prevent disappointment. Please contact Catawiki to schedule an appointment.
