Description : Gateway Classic Cars of Orlando is proud to present this fun little 1959 Austin Healey Sprite. Often called a "Bugeye" or "Frogeye" Sprite, these little roadsters were produced from 1958-1961 and have garnered an almost cult like following. While most cars of the day were a body on frame construction the Sprite featured unibody construction. This bright blue example has a track oriented setup with a roll bar and an assortment of decals from typical race sponsors of the day. These cars make great racecars because of their light weight and handling characteristics. The horsepower may not be a huge figure, but with a proper 4 speed manual and the wind in your hair, it certainly is an exhilarating ride. Under the front tilt clamshell hood is a 948 cc inline 4 factory rated at 43 horsepower and 52 lb ft of torque. With itâs close slick shifting 4 speed manual imagine how this little bugeye can get up and go! According to the owner recent work to this car includes new wiring harness, electronic distributor, carb & intake, brakes and more. If youâre looking for a fun classic roadster to zip around town in this is the one you want to own! Options include spare tire, hub caps, jack, vinyl interior, seat belts and front disc brakes.

About Austin-Healey
Austin-Healey was a British sports car make created as a joint-venture between the Austin division of the British Motor Corporation (BMC) and the Donald Healey Motor Company. First Healey model, Healey 100, was based on Austin A90 Atlantic mechanicals and developed by Donald Healey to be build in-house. They finished a single Healey Hundred for the 1952 London Motor Show. Leonard Lord, managing director of Austin was so impressed by the design that a deal was duly struck with Healey and the car was renamed the Austin-Healey 100 overnight. Austin Healey was born. 100 derived into 100-six, and different 3000 versions before they quit the production in 1968 as the basic design had finally become obsolete.
