Facts about the model

Austin Healey Sprite är en sportbil, tillverkad av den brittiska biltillverkaren Austin Healey mellan 1958 och 1971, från 1958 – 1961 hade den de karaktäristiska grodögonen som gav bilen smeknamnet ”Frog Eye”. (Sprite Mk I AN5). 1961 och framåt tillverkades den med en modernare men inte lika charmig front och akter.

Tillverkningen av den lilla sportbilen startade 1958 i MG-fabriken i Abingdon, dit produktionen av alla Austin-Healey nu flyttats. Karossen var mycket enkel och saknade bagagelucka och vevbara sidofönster i dörrarna. Suffletten bestod av en sats stänger och ett stycke tyg som måste byggas upp som ett litet tält varje gång man råkade ut för en regnskur. Hela fronten var pressad i ett stycke, där motorhuv, framskärmar och kylare öppnades framåt. Strålkastarna skulle från början ha varit fällbara, men av kostnadsskäl ersattes dessa av de fasta glosögon mitt på motorhuven som givit bilen dess engelska smeknamn ”frog-eye”.

Produktionen uppgick till 48 999 exemplar.
