The Austin-Healey Sprite was a small open sports car which was produced in the United Kingdom from 1958 to 1971. The Sprite was announced to the press in Monte Carlo by the British Motor Corporation on 20 May 1958, two days after that years Monaco Grand Prix. It was intended to be a low-cost model that \"a chap could keep in his bike shed\", yet be the successor to the sporting versions of the pre-war Austin Seven. The Sprite was designed by the Donald Healey Motor Company, with production being undertaken at the MG factory at Abingdon. For the 1963 Austin-Healey Sprite, things got a bit bigger and more powerful, but only slightly. This model of the Sprite is powered by a 1098CC 1.1-liter straight-4 engine. It produces a max horsepower of 56 at 5500 rpm and has a compression ratio of 8.9:1. Like the 1961 model, the transmission featured is a 4-speed manual. The 1963 Austin-Healey Sprite has a top speed of 88 miles per hour and can accelerate from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 21 seconds. So, not much change from the original, but you can tell the company was trying to find ways to make this beloved car even more exciting for buyers. It should be noted that the mark II models were where the company really started to modernize things. While the second generation of the Sprites was a tad bit more advance than the first, there were only slight improvements between the two. The Mark II announced at the end of May 1961[8
