A Sprite or a Midget. An Austin Sprite or an MG Midget. Engine sizes
ranged from a small 870cc (I think) "A" series 4 banger in the bugeye
Sprite circa '57 to a 1275 cc Motor in the 70's. The Bugeye Sprite did
not have a comparable MG marque but after that body style all of the
Midgets and Sprites had exactly the same body parts. Chrome and other
small things were different, but essentially the same car.
