Exterior and Interior
What better way to compliment the fiery personality of this 1961 Austin Healey Sprite better than the red exterior it sports? The catchy exterior is complimented with the car's chrome components, which are present and in excellent shape. The red exterior features a black convertible top, which, when down, makes for driving memories that last a lifetime. In terms of shoes, this British classic neatly sits on a set of minilite-styled mag wheels which are finished in silver. The black interior of this 1961 Austin Healey Sprite provides a drive experience that's a cut above the rest, it's a no frills experience with very less getting in the way of you experiencing driving nirvana. Step inside, and you are treated to an aftermarket steering wheel in place for better grip, manual windows, and a dashboard that provides you with this British classics vitals and nothing less.
Engine
While it may be small in size, make no mistake this 1961 Austin Healey Sprite is a real performance treat to ensure infinite smiles per gallon behind the wheel. What makes all of this possible? A small but mighty 948 CC inline four British motor providing that iconic British grunt and rev-happy personality. The current owner reports that this plucky British classic has front and rear drum brakes to ensure you stop on time. Ensuring you have more control over the function of this car is a four-speed manual transmission channeling all its plucky performance to its rear wheels.
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!

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.
