Intended as a spiritual successor to inexpensive pre-war sports cars such as the MG M-type or Austin 7 Nippy, the Austin-Healey Sprite was launched in May 1958. Powered by a twin-carburettor fed 948cc A-series four-cylinder engine developing some 43bhp and 52lbft of torque, it was capable of over 80mph. Credit for the Frogeye's wonderful styling lies with both Gerry Coker and Les Ireland. Put on sale for just £669 including purchase tax rarely before or since has a sports car enjoyed such a large fun-to-price ratio.

In current ownership since 2007, this 'Frogeye' was originally assigned as an 'export' example and subsequently converted to RHD following its return to the UK from the United States c.2005. Self-evidently the subject of previous restoration work, it’s an older restoration that still presents well. Used in tours and events, this car was in attendance at the ‘Spridget 50’ - Birthday Party event at The Heritage Motor Centre, Gaydon, Warwickshire on 24th May 2008. Fitted with a stainless-steel exhaust and wire wheels (including the spare), the 'Frogeye' is offered with 'full weather equipment'. It is accompanied by a current V5C registration document and a Heritage Certificate.
