Facts about the model

Sprite Mk II (HAN6/HAN7) / MG Midget Mk I (GAN1/GAN2)
Våren 1961 modifierades bilen med helt ny front och akter. Framdelen fick nu ett mer ordinärt utseende än tidigare och bakdelen utrustades med låsbar bagagelucka och baklysen lånade från den snart lanserade MGB:n. Sittbrunnen förlängdes och fick ett utrymme bakom stolarna. Motorn behöll storleken på 948cc men uppdaterades med bl.a. större dubbla SU-förgasare och några fler hästkrafter.

Från oktober 1962 infördes ett smärre antal uppdateringar: större motor på 1098cc, förstärkt växellåda, skivbromsar fram, uppdaterade bakbromsar och aningen förnyad inredning. Denna uppdaterade modell fick även plåtfälgar som saknade de borrade klassiska ventilationshålen från tidigare modeller. Midgeten ändrade med uppdateringen modellkod från GAN1 till GAN2 och Spriten ändrade från HAN6 till HAN7.

BMC höll vid den här tiden som bäst på att rationalisera sitt modellprogram med gemensamma karosser och komponenter över hela linjen. Därför fick Sprite nu en tvillingmodell i form av MG Midget, identisk så när som på kylargrillen samt kromlister på sidor och motorhuv. Inredningen skiljer i vissa detaljer av stolklädseln och instrument. I Spriten satt instrument från Smith och i Midgeten Jäger(dock tillverkade av Smith). De båda modellerna brukar omtalas gemensamt som ”Spridget”.

Produktionen uppgick till 31 665 Sprite och 25 681 Midget.

  • During the auction days information about a vehicle may be updated up to the day before the auction ends.
