Austin

This classic British roadster is a striking 1961 Austin-Healey Sprite, often fondly called the 'Bugeye'. Manufactured in an era renowned for its driver-centric sports cars, this vintage automobile is a quintessential example of that philosophy with its open-topped, lightweight body and spirited performance. Distinguished by its large headlights mounted on the sides rather than in the grill, giving it a unique, almost bug-eyed appearance, this 'Bugeye' model is one of the earliest designs from the Austin-Healey collaboration. Its 1961 manufacturing year underscores its vintage status, with many enthusiasts treasuring these early models for their originality and purity of design.
