With its famously friendly face that is most likened to an inquisitive frog (hence the nickname Frogeye), the Austin-Healey Sprite is a lovable British roadster that was made between 1958 and 1971. With its small road footprint and frugal four-cylinder engine, it redefined what driving fun could be. Despite being the polar opposite of what most Americans considered to constitute a fun or sporty car, some examples did make it here. Case in point, this 1959 Austin-Healey Sprite for sale in Pennsylvania.

Exterior and Interior
This 1959 Austin-Healey Sprite wears the most iconic of all British car colors; British Racing Green. Yes, frogeyes did go racing, and they did quite well too. With its chrome hubcapped steel wheels, perky headlamps and luggage rack, this car looks like it can really show you a good time, regardless of whether the place is a race track or a back road. Plus, you don’t even need to break the speed limit to have fun in this car. The two-seat interior of this 1959 Austin-Healey Sprite comes in tan because that’s the best color to complement a British Racing Green body. This is even more so when the car in question is a convertible, and hence the interior is on full display. Here, you’ve got two low-backed seats, three pedals, several gauges, a steering wheel and a wood-topped gear shifter. We also see a small extravagance in the passenger side of the dashboard, namely a Sparkomatic AM/FM radio with a cassette tape player and a three-band equalizer. My, aren’t we fancy! You’d be lucky to even get a radio in most British roadsters from the time.
Engine
This 1959 Austin-Healey Sprite has got a 948cc (that’s less than 1 liter) 4-cylinder engine to make it go. The naturally aspirated mill uses twin SU H1 carburetors and was factory rated at just 43 horsepower. But, with a low kerb weight of definitely under 2,000 pounds, it can still show you a good time. The car uses a 4-speed manual transmission and is rear-wheel drive. It’s also got front independent coil spring wishbone suspension and a rear live axle with quarter-elliptic leaf springs.

The '50s and '60s were the golden era of open-top British motors, and the car that ranked as one of Britain's finest was the legendary Austin Healey Sprite. Built to be a plucky British motor that's designed for handling tight corners in style, being behind the wheel of an Austin Healey Sprite means you prefer fine-tuned handling and performance that's not overpowered but just right for a good time. Present today is this lovely 1961 Austin Healey Sprite. This British classic is reported to have 15,000 miles on its clock, is fully restored, and makes for the perfect weekend driver or track-focused project.
The antithesis to your stereotypical American open-topped sports car, the Austin-Healey Sprite was conceived in Britain for UK roads and drivers. With a production run spanning from 1958 to 1971 over four series (known as the Mark I, II, III, and IV), it was positioned as a low-cost yet fun car that could be easily maintained. Of course, Sprites made it to many other countries, including Stateside, as evidenced by this 1959 Austin-Healey Sprite that we're selling right now. It's received a new Oselli 1275cc Inline-4 engine with just 2,000 miles on it and is your ideal weekend toy.
The Austin-Healey 3000 is widely regarded as one of Britain’s most celebrated sports cars, but this 1967 Austin-Healey 3000 Fiberfab Jamaican GT Coupe offers a level of exclusivity that few Healeys can match. During the 1960s, Fiberfab introduced the Jamaican GT, a sleek fiberglass-bodied grand tourer designed to transform donor sports cars into exotic-looking coupes inspired by contemporary European GT machines. While many Jamaican GTs were sold as kits for owner assembly, this example is a rare factory-built Fiberfab car, making it significantly more desirable and collectible than the typical home-built conversion. Showing approximately 55,134 miles, it combines proven Austin-Healey 3000 mechanicals with dramatic coachwork finished in Aston Martin California Sage Green over a black leather interior with green piping. With its documented factory-built pedigree, striking design, and limited production status, this Jamaican GT represents a unique opportunity to own a seldom-seen piece of both British sports car and American specialty-car history.
A classic car experience can be a love-hate relationship for many. Narrow that down to classic British car ownership, and your emotions are mostly balanced out: they have the performance to whack a smile on your face, and when down and out, they don't cost too much to get everything running again. Present today is not your ordinary classic motor but a prized possession in the world of classic British motors, and it takes shape with this gorgeous 1961 Austin-Healey 3000 BT7. This lovely example hails from Williamsburg, Virginia and is reported to have just 68,943 miles on its odometer and also comes with a host of extra spares and other components included in the sale.
