Vehicle Description

The 1962 Austin Healey Sprite captures the essence of British motoring charm with its iconic "frogeye" design and spirited compact performance. This lightweight roadster embodies the pure joy of open-air driving, paired with a storied heritage that enthusiasts cherish.

The 4-speed manual transmission provides direct control and an engaging driving experience. This Sprite's lightweight frame and stock suspension ensure nimble handling, while the single exhaust note adds to its vintage allure.
