The Austin-Healey Sprite, a compact roadster produced by the British Motor Corporation (BMC) from 1958 to 1971, became a symbol of affordable and spirited driving. The 1966 model year, featured in this workshop manual, marked a significant transition for the Sprite. The original "Frogeye" design, with its distinctive rounded headlights, was replaced with a more conventional, albeit still charming, visage. This new generation, nicknamed the "Mk II," boasted a wider track for increased stability and a longer wheelbase for a more comfortable ride. Under the hood, the Sprite retained its lively 948cc four-cylinder engine, but now offered an optional 1098cc unit for enhanced performance. The Sprite's appeal lay in its compact dimensions, nimbleness, and lively engine. It was a popular choice for enthusiasts seeking a fun and engaging driving experience, and its lightweight construction made it a natural for amateur motorsports. The 1966 Austin-Healey Sprite, while a significant step forward from its predecessor, still retained the same core values that made the model so popular. Its simplicity and robust construction made it both reliable and relatively easy to maintain, an important consideration for owners who enjoyed the hands-on approach to automotive ownership.
