The Austin-Healey Sprite, affectionately nicknamed the "Frogeye" due to its distinctive, rounded headlights, is a British sports car produced by the Austin Motor Company between 1958 and 1971. Launched in 1958, the Sprite was designed by Donald Healey to offer a cheaper and more accessible entry point into the world of sports car ownership, particularly for younger buyers. It featured a lightweight, unibody construction, a 948 cc BMC A-Series engine, and a four-speed manual transmission. While not as powerful as some of its contemporaries, the Sprite's nimble handling and sporty styling made it a hit with enthusiasts. Its small size and relatively low cost also made it a popular choice for racing, where it achieved considerable success, particularly in the hands of privateers. The Sprite was a significant departure from traditional MG and Austin-Healey models, offering a more modern and compact design. Its innovative "Frogeye" headlights were a unique styling element that quickly became synonymous with the model. Over its production run, the Sprite underwent several evolutions, with changes to the engine, suspension, and trim. The MkII, introduced in 1961, featured a larger engine and a more conventional grille. The MkIII, launched in 1964, saw the introduction of a new, wider body and a redesigned interior. In 1966, the Sprite was renamed the "MG Midget," a move that reflected the car's growing association with the MG marque. Despite the name change, the car retained its iconic "Frogeye" design and continued to be produced until 1971. The Austin-Healey Sprite, despite being a relatively short-lived model, remains a cherished classic among sports car enthusiasts for its unique design, engaging driving experience, and affordable price point. It continues to be a popular choice for restoration and enjoyment by owners worldwide.
