I have personally been told by an Englishman in America that a Sprite really isn't an Austin-Healy. He owned a 100-6. I don't care what people think of my car. My personal favorite autocrosser was a

Excuse me? It's not? The MG Midget was the badge engineered bastard child here, that Sprite came first, and the midget folowed a couple of years later. He's probably just a huffy "Big Healy" kind of

Let's see, a car built by Donald HEALEY, with an AUSTIN, engine. It must be a Healey/Austin, what would you expect from a "big Healey owner? Does this mean that my Jaguar (J type) not being an E-type

A Sprite ISN'T an Austin-Healy!! It's an Austin-HEALEY!! If you want to get technical and literal at the same time, the only Sprite that is an Austin Healey is the '58-'60 "Bugeye" Sprite. It was des

Actually Trevor, They sold OK, but sales did not soar. Look at the production figures... 1962 and 1964 were the only years that BMC's squarebody outsold the 1960 Bugeye, and that was less than 5% mor
