Description
We are selling a performance-enhanced Austin Healey Sprite MK I 'FROGEYE' on behalf of a customer.
The Austin Healey Sprite was built in four model series from 1958 to 1970. The first series is the Austin Healey Sprite MK I, which was in production from 1958 to 1960. In 1958, the British Motor Corporation presented the first SPRITE. The design for this small roadster was created by Donald Mitchell Healey.
In Europe, this MK I series vehicle was nicknamed the "Frogeye" due to its distinctive headlight arrangement.
Although this small and lightweight sports car had only a modest engine power of 48 hp, the Austin Healey Sprite nevertheless offered exceptional performance at the time thanks to its low weight and lightweight chassis.
The vehicle we are offering was imported from the USA (California) to Germany in 2001. Our customer has owned the Austin Healey for over 20 years, namely since 2004.
