Austin-Healey Sprite 1959

Gateway Classic Cars of Las Vegas would like to present the 1959 Austin-Healey Bugeye Sprite racer. This new design was notable for its state-of-the-art unitary construction body/chassis. Christened “Sprite,” the new sports car entered production in March 1958 and featured a distinctive, forward-hinging bonnet and wings topped by two fixed “Bugeye” headlamps, thus ensuring instant recognition and the now-familiar nickname. Powered by a 4 cylinder engine running through a 4-speed manual transmission. This little racer is red with a black leather interior. Prepped for racing you won’t have more fun than in this little British classic.
