1959 Austin-Healey Sprite - 328 KPE
Taken on my 'tippy toes' to try and get a clean shot without a cluttered background, this gorgeous Mk1 Sprite was immaculate.
Conceived during the early months of 1956 at a meeting between Leonard Lord and Donald Healey, to fill a gap in the market left by demise of the MG midgets, which were replaced by the larger MGA.
The target was to produce a sports car for the price of a Morris Minor - around £600. The design had to be simple and inexpensive to produce - and this was acheived with the cheeky looking car, which rapidly became known as the Frogeye (UK) or Bugeye (USA) due to the headlights standing up on top of the bonnet.
The Mk1 was manufactured from 1958 to 1961 and the Sprite name lived in various guises until 1971 when the last Austin Sprites were produced.
