Background Story of this 1959 Austin Healey Sprite

Overview of 1959 Austin Healey Sprite For Sale by Owner

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. With a smidge over 53,000 miles on the clock, this spunky little car is the perfect way to treat yourself to something fun to drive, as well as a definitive appreciating asset!

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.

1959 Austin Healey Sprite MK1

VERIFIED SELLER
PENDING SALE
$24,995
SOLD

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.

1961 Austin Healey 3000 BN7 Roadster

VERIFIED SELLER
PENDING SALE
$52,999

Popularly called the hairy-chested Healey, the Austin-Healey 3000 was, as the name suggests, a large-engined British sports car, typically in roadster form. Unlike typical British roadsters of the time, the Austin-Healey 3000 came with an uncharacteristically large six-cylinder powerplant and was, overall, a larger car, albeit by not much. Produced between 1959 and 1967, it makes for an excellent classic car to own and cherish. Interestingly, in the Austin-Healey 3000’s later years, the majority of production found its way to North America. Today, we’ve got one of those cars, a 1961 Austin-Healey 3000 BN7 Roadster from Gastonia, North Carolina. Why not pick it up and make it your weekend cruiser?

1961 Chevrolet Impala Restomod LS1

VERIFIED SELLER
PENDING SALE
$64,999

The 1961 Chevrolet Impala is one of the most recognizable early-60s American coupes, known for its sweeping side trim, quad headlights, and jet-age design language. This example has been transformed into an LS-swapped restomod while retaining much of its original character inside and out. Finished in green with a white interior, the car features a recently installed LS1 V8 with approximately 94,601 miles on the engine. The firewall has been painted in candy apple red, highlighting the custom drivetrain installation, though the exterior paintwork remains unfinished and the seller has noted a quarter panel issue pending further documentation. Sitting on 22-inch wheels, this Impala blends classic styling with modern performance, presenting as a partially completed project with strong mechanical foundations.

1988 Mercedes-Benz 560SL

VERIFIED SELLER
PENDING SALE
$19,500

Arguably the most popular Mercedes-Benz model in the United States during the Seventies and Eighties, The R107 era of their SL-Class grand tourer saw over 204,000 units find homes. This was during an 18-year production run that spanned 1971 to 1989. Impressive as the figure may be for a luxury car, it’s even more admirable when you consider that just over 300,000 were made in total! In fact, more R107 SLs found homes Stateside than they did in Germany or anywhere else in the world. Today, there’s no shortage of fine examples, thanks to the car’s superb Mercedes-Benz build quality. Hence, this Texas-based 1988 Mercedes-Benz 560SL is a rather sensible purchase to make, even if you have no idea about classic cars. With its 5.6-liter V8, 4-speed automatic gearbox and aftermarket Kenwood stereo unit, it’s a sound choice. Don’t worry about the 142,000 miles on the odometer, these cars are built to go the distance if maintained well.

VERIFIED SELLER
PENDING SALE

The 80s brought about a massive change in the automotive world; it was a seismic shift in terms of customer taste and what manufacturers brought to the table. While the 70s were a nice era for the car in general, the 80s would transform into a whole lot of synth and digital. The “Z” by Nissan was one of those machines that helped shape the 80s. Feast your eyes on the 80s in motion and get behind the wheel of this 1986 Nissan 300ZX we have today. Hailing from Palm Coast, Florida, and with just 79,035 miles on its clock, this '80s beauty is the perfect weekend drive and even serves as the foundation for a high-performance build.
