Donald Mitchell Healey said at Amaroo Park Historic Races
Sydney, Australia 1977
when asked to present the trophy at the end of the 'all Healey Feature
Race' and questioned as to his favourite model Healey, he answered
without hesitation------
"SPRITE."
There were more sold therefore more popular
They won more races " " competitive
There are more left " better built ??
For example a works Sprite was good for 30mpg at an average speed of
100mph.
" " " " " averaged 99mph for the
24hours of LeMans
" " " " " was timed at 154mph at
LeMans from 1275cc
dont get excited I am not that one eyed just ask people to be opened
minded I own one of each. That is Big and Sprite
PS Why else would MG want to take over the model,remember there is no
such thing as an MG Midget. Well not since the 1930's
