The MG Sprite, affectionately known as the "Bugeye" due to its distinctive rounded headlights, was a small, lightweight sports car produced by the British Motor Corporation (BMC) from 1958 to 1971. The Sprite was the brainchild of BMC's renowned designer, Alec Issigonis, who sought to create an affordable and fun-to-drive sports car. The Sprite, along with its sister car, the Austin-Healey Sprite, shared a common platform and many mechanical components, though some design details differed. One of the most striking features of the Sprite was its unique and charming "bugeye" front end, which featured large, round headlights that were set in a rounded grille. This design, while unconventional, gave the Sprite a distinctive character that has become iconic among car enthusiasts.
The MG Sprite was powered by a 1.0-liter four-cylinder engine, which initially produced around 48 horsepower. Later versions saw improvements in the engine, with the final models achieving around 65 horsepower. Despite its modest power output, the Sprite's lightweight design and responsive handling made it a surprisingly capable performer. It could achieve a top speed of over 90 mph and was capable of delivering spirited performance on winding roads. The Sprite's simplicity and mechanical robustness made it a popular choice for amateur racers and enthusiasts, who appreciated its ease of maintenance and tuning. The MG Sprite Service Repair Manual 1959-1972 is a valuable resource for anyone wishing to work on or restore their Bugeye Sprite.
