Austin-Healey Sprite

The Austin-Healey Sprite is a small open sports car that was designed by the Donald Healey Motor Company, which received a royalty payment from the manufacturers BMC. The Sprite was made at the MG sports car factory at Abingdon and it was inevitable that the success of the design would spawn an MG version known as the Midget, reviving a popular pre-war model name. Enthusiasts often now refer to Sprites and MG Midgets collectively as "Spridgets."
