Info about this vehicle:

1958 Austin Healey Sprite MK1
A well-presented example of the original “Bugeye” Sprite, finished in Primrose Yellow and showing an indicated 181 miles.

Powered by a 1.0-litre inline four-cylinder petrol engine paired with a manual transmission, the Sprite MK1 delivers lightweight, engaging motoring in its purest form. With rear-wheel drive and a simple, minimalist layout, it remains one of the most charming British sports cars of its era.

Austin Healey Sprite MK1 Model History
Introduced in 1958, the Austin Healey Sprite MK1 was designed as an affordable, fun-to-drive sports car aimed at younger enthusiasts. Nicknamed the “Bugeye” (or “Frogeye” in the UK) due to its distinctive headlight design, the Sprite was praised for its light weight, nimble handling and mechanical simplicity. It played a significant role in making sports car ownership accessible and went on to become a popular choice for club racing and motorsport, cementing its place as a British motoring icon.
