About this car

The "Frogeye" is the original Austin-Healey Sprite, the small, affordable roadster that put open-top motoring within reach of many enthusiasts. This 1958 car is among the earliest, finished in Speedwell Blue with darker blue re-trimmed leather seats.

It has just been serviced and will be sold with a full MOT. New tyres have been fitted. It keeps its original steel wheels and hubcaps, steering wheel and instruments. The dealer reports that it drives well in all areas.

The previous owner was local to the dealer and had the car for 12 years, and was a customer for around 20.
