Introducing this 1961 Austin-Healey Mark I "Bugeye" Sprite, finished in Cherry Red over a black interior with white stitching.

Equipped with a 4-speed manual transmission, upgraded 1275cc inline-four engine, SU dual carburetors, Smiths instrumentation, drum brakes, and the signature "Bug Eye" headlights mounted directly into the bonnet. Additional features include a two-spoke steering wheel, forward-tilting fiberglass bonnet assembly, wind deflectors/wing vents, and 13-inch steel wheels with Austin-Healey-branded hub caps. The cabin is fitted with bucket seats, while the exterior includes fender-mounted rearview mirrors, metal toggle switches, side curtains, and a black convertible soft top. A chrome luggage rack is fitted directly onto the rear deck lid behind the soft top mount for convenience. 

The Austin-Healey Sprite was introduced in 1958 as an affordable British sports car designed around lightweight construction and straightforward mechanicals. Its nickname, "Bug Eye," came from the unusual placement of its headlights, which became one of the model's defining characteristics.

Whether enjoyed as a vintage British roadster or taken on as a fun weekend classic, this Austin-Healey Bug Eye Sprite offers the unmistakable character of an early Sprite along with its simple, lightweight driving experience. The charming classic vehicle is mechanically sound. For $14,750
