1959 Austin-Healey Bugeye Sprite

This 1959 Austin-Healey Bugeye Sprite, manufactured in the era of Eisenhower's presidency, is a joyous remnant from the late 1950s British sports car scene. Its distinctive bucket-seat configuration and unique headlight design, reminiscent of an insect's bulbous eyes, earned it its affectionate nickname "Bugeye". Restoration recently completed in 2019 by its caring owner, this vintage convertible gleams in its vibrant red livery over black upholstery, complemented by a classic black soft top. Under the hood lies a lively 948cc inline-four engine, coupled with a smooth-shifting four-speed manual transmission. This iconic roadster, currently located in Zionsville, Indiana, USA, showcases timeless design and eager performance, embodying the spirited driving experience that made Austin-Healeys legendary.
