Sprite no. 49 is the works car that ran at LeMans in 1967 & 68. Also Sebring
1966 & 67. This in fact is the last AUSTIN based Healey raced by Donald
Healey. Interestingly the actual LeMans 1969 poster has a pit lane photograph
taken in 1968 as its basis. Back down the line of cars parked against the pit
garages is the SR.37 Healey Climax and the same Sprite. The Sprite is shown in
Bill Emerson's excellant The Healey Book
