Any Idea Why AUSTIN-HEALEY SPRITE was Nicknamed The Frogeye?!!


Blog by Gmy.




Origin by UK
First manufactured in Year 1958 until 1961
Engine installed 948 cc Straight Four

Top speed of 83 mph (133 km/h); 0-60 mph (97 km/h) in 20.5 secs

MG with their Midget subsequently imitated the 'junior sports car' idea & the two junior sports cars are referred to collectively as 'Spridgets' (both were built at the MG factory in Abingdon). Triumph also jumped on the bandwagon with their 1962 Spitfire.
