The Austin-Healey Sprite, a sporty and compact two-seater roadster, was produced by the British Motor Corporation (BMC) from 1958 to 1971. The Sprite, affectionately nicknamed the "Frogeye" due to its distinctive, bulbous headlights, was designed by Donald Healey and was based on the Mini's platform, sharing its compact dimensions and innovative transverse engine layout. The first generation, known as the Mark I, featured a 948cc A-Series engine, producing 43 horsepower, and was initially available with a four-speed manual transmission. The Sprite was a commercial success, offering a blend of affordability, performance, and engaging driving experience. Subsequent generations saw enhancements like a larger 1098cc engine, increased power output, and updated styling, further solidifying the Sprite's reputation as a fun and nimble sports car. The 1971 Austin-Healey Sprite, representing the final year of production, marked a significant shift in the model's design and engineering. While retaining its core identity, the Sprite underwent a cosmetic facelift, featuring a revised front grille, redesigned bumpers, and a new instrument panel. The most notable change was the introduction of the 1275cc A-Series engine, delivering a considerable power boost to 64 horsepower. This final iteration of the Sprite, affectionately known as the "Mk IV," continued to provide a thrilling driving experience for enthusiasts while retaining the car's iconic classic charm. The Sprite's legacy lives on, with its compact size, quirky styling, and driving dynamics remaining sought-after features for classic car enthusiasts today.
