Austin Healey Sprite – Bugeyed
There are a few cars that elicit a response like the Austin Healey Mark 1 Sprite or more commonly called the Austin Healey Bugeyed Sprite. What a name! If you look at the back of the car, you don't really notice anything uncommon. It looks like a well styled small convertible. Look inside the car and you'll notice a clean, no nonsense interior with toggles and the such. Look at the front of the car and BAM, you love it or you hate it. There isn't anyone who says, "it's alright". This is a convertible that demands an immediate verdict from you. As it stare at you with it's buggy eyes and grinning grill it asks, "Do you love me or hate me?"
Austin Healey Bugeyed Sprite
It was produced as a cheap fun car in the late 50's and early 60's. Budget demands made the designer change his plans and place the headlights in the now classic place on the hood. As the Mark 1 it only lasted from 59 to 61 before it was replaced with the....wait for it...Mark II. Cool how that works isn't it? Finding a quality car from the early 60's is going to be tough but ohhhh the looks you will get if you drive this happy little car around.
