1960 Austin-Healey Bugeye Sprite

The Austin-Healey Bugeye Sprite is an iconic classic car manufactured in 1960, known for its distinctive features including a unique headlight design encased in a plastic 'bug eye' fairing, hence the nickname. This charming British roadster was produced between 1959 and 1971, with only minor changes over those twelve years. The Bugeye Sprite is powered by a feisty four-cylinder engine, capable of producing approximately 46 horsepower in its original state, mated to a four-speed manual transmission. It's a pure, minimalist sports car experience, with the driver sitting close to the road and steering through a simple, lightweight rack-and-pinion setup. Its compact size, agile handling, and characterful performance have endeared it to classic car enthusiasts worldwide.
