1960 | Austin-Healey Sprite Mk I

A very special Frog! On the base of an original Sprite from 1960 new constructed in England in 1992. Carried out in detail at customer’s option (First owner). With support from Donald and Geoffrey Healey, the constructors of the Sprite MK 1 (from 1959-1961). Their quotation: “Today we would build the Sprite just like that, this car is simply brilliant”.

The offered car is the** very last** built of only 22 examples worldwide in this execution. From the original Sprite only the power unit and the axles were assumed – simple BMC technology.
