Dallas,

Good idea.  Don't buy a car if you don't know the background, even if it's a
real Tiger.

A "Spridget" is the name given to the Austin-Healy Sprite and teh MG Midget,
which were the same car with different emblems.  "Badge Bar Engineering", they
called it.  Had about 1100 cc and a weak gearbox.  The very first Healy had
different hood and headlights, and looked like a frog.  Subsequent models looked
like the MG.  Hence Sprite + Midget = "Spridget". Small, light, easy to drive,
still raced.
