1959 Austin-Healey Sprite - XOX 794

The Austin-Healey Sprite is a small open sports car, designed by Donald Healey, which was produced in the United Kingdom from 1958 through until 1971. The little Sprite proved to be hugely popular, quickly becoming affectionately known as the Frogeye in the UK and the Bugeye in the US, because of the manner in which the headlights were prominently mounted on top of the bonnet. Intended to be a low-cost model that "a chap could keep in his bike shed" the Sprite first went on sale at £669, but something tells me you'd need to pay considerably more to get your hands on this one.
