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.
Measuring just 137 inches from tip to tail, this 1959 Austin-Healey Sprite is far more than just a friendly face. Those lovable bug-eyed or frog-eyed headlamps are the essence of the car's character, with its eager-mouthed, smiling grille right beneath, channeling air for the small but plucky motor to breathe and be cooled by. This car is said to come with various weather protection options that include two bikini tops, a tonneau top, and a full top with side curtains. At the rear, you'll find a kicked-up stance and a jaunty exhaust pipe for one last sign of joie de vivre. We've also got a lovely set of period alloys to admire. Inside, don't expect dual-zone climate control, Apple CarPlay, and powered this-and-that. No, this 1959 Austin-Healey Sprite is the definition of digital detox. Need to charge your phone? Forget it. There isn't even a place to keep your phone, so keep it in your pocket or, better still, at home. Instead, you get two low-backed seats, three pedals, a sporty steering wheel, a gear lever, three pedals, and some beautiful analog Smiths gauges. This is the standard feature set of a Sprite. We also observe what appears to be a heater for keeping you warm during those brisk early morning drives.
Originally, a Mark I Sprite like this 1959 Austin-Healey Sprite would have seen a 948cc in-line 4-cylinder engine powering it, with all of 43hp from the factory. However, as we've told you, this car has received a new engine. The new engine is a larger 1,275cc unit that's most likely from a Mark IV car and was rated at 65hp when new. Drive goes to the rear wheels via a four-speed manual transmission. This car also has front disc brakes, an aluminum radiator, a racing cam, and electronic ignition. What are you waiting for? Buy this car and experience true motoring nirvana in its rawest form. It's far more pleasing to wring out a small engine than it is a constantly corral a large one, after all.
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.

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!

The Austin Healey 3000 remains one of the most iconic British roadsters of the 1960s, celebrated for its elegant lines and open-air driving experience. With original examples commanding high values, kit car recreations provide enthusiasts with an attainable way to enjoy the classic Healey aesthetic. This 1962 Austin Healey 3000 Kit Car, offered out of Phoenix, Arizona, captures the spirit of the original while incorporating thoughtful updates. Finished in red with a beige interior, it pairs vintage styling cues with a carbureted V6 engine, a manual transmission, and several period-inspired touches that make it both engaging to drive and striking to look at.
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 1969 Ford Torino Cobra stands as one of Ford’s most purpose-built muscle cars, developed with a clear focus on high-speed performance and NASCAR homologation rather than pure styling flair. This example is a genuine factory Cobra, confirmed by VIN and data plate, and powered by Ford’s legendary 428 Cobra Jet V8. Finished in Presidential Blue over a black interior, the car presents an authentic, no-nonsense performance specification that reflects Ford’s competition-driven mindset at the end of the 1960s. Importantly, this Torino is accompanied by a Marti Report, providing documented verification of its factory configuration, drivetrain, and special performance designation.

A low mileage enhances its appeal, making it an attractive option for collectors and enthusiasts alike. As part of the Corvette lineage, this model stands out with its innovative design and remarkable performance specs.
Falcon is one of Ford’s best-known nameplates, because its been used for cars in North America, Australia and Argentina. Today’s 1964 Ford Falcon Sprint Convertible comes from the North American line-up and is a second-generation example. With a healthy 119,104 miles on the clock, this fine Ford hails from Chula Vista, California and is a nice, sunny drop-top too. It’s got a 289 paired with a four-speeder, and some fetching aftermarket wheels as well. And that’s before we get to its rather nautical color! In short, this is the perfect first classic for someone looking to try out the American cars of the Sixties, but if you need more convincing before calling us, read on.
