1961 Austin-Healey Bugeye Sprite

The vehicle is a distinctive 1961 Austin-Healey Bugeye Sprite, manufactured in the United Kingdom during an era renowned for its iconic British roadsters. This particular model stands out with its characteristic "bug-eyed" headlights integrated into the hood's design, hence its popular moniker. The Bugeye Sprite is known for its simple, lightweight construction and agile handling, attributed to its low weight of approximately 1,375 lbs. Under the bonnet sits a lively 1098cc inline-four engine coupled with an efficient four-speed manual transmission, providing sprightly performance despite its humble displacement. This particular example retains its original US-spec, sporting Michigan's 48079 zip code as evidence of its operation within the States during its prime years.
