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!
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.
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.
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?
The 1973 Mercedes-Benz 450 SL represents the beginning of the iconic R107 generation, a platform that would go on to define luxury roadsters for nearly two decades. Showing 27,315 miles, this example stands out with its striking Signal Red finish and classic Bamboo interior—an unmistakably period-correct combination. Known for its durability, smooth V8 power, and timeless styling, the 450 SL quickly became a symbol of success and refined motoring in the 1970s. With both a removable hardtop and a soft top, it offers year-round usability, making it as practical as it is collectible.
The 1982 Pininfarina Spider 2000 Turbo represents a rare and fascinating chapter in Italian automotive history, blending classic roadster styling with early turbocharged performance. With just 20,875 miles, this example stands out as a well-preserved survivor from a time when turbocharging was still a novelty in sports cars. Unlike the standard Spider 2000, this variant features a turbocharger system developed by Legend Industries, making it a unique and limited-production offering. Finished in Cherry Red over a tan interior, it captures the timeless elegance of Pininfarina design while offering a more spirited driving experience than its naturally aspirated counterparts.
The 1968 Chevrolet Chevelle SS Coupe stands as one of the most recognizable muscle cars of its era, combining aggressive styling with serious big-block performance. This example, showing 85,854 miles, benefits from being a true SS396 car, making it especially desirable among enthusiasts and collectors. While it retains its iconic identity, this Chevelle has been thoughtfully upgraded with a built 396ci V8 and supporting performance components, giving it a stronger, more responsive driving character than stock. Finished in a custom yellow exterior over a black interior, this Chevelle strikes a balance between classic muscle presence and street-ready performance, making it an ideal choice for someone who wants to drive and enjoy their investment.
