Sorry to contradict your only 1/2 right.
1969 was last year the AH Sprite was exported ,but the ''71 model was the
last for the Austin Healey Sprite in the UK market. According to Horler's "OS&
M" (page 112), the ''71 models started production in June ''70 and the Healey
name was not dropped until December ''70. So 6 months worth of AH Sprites
(HAN10s) were produced. Maybe Mike's looking at a UK home-market Sprite.
