Austin-Healey cars

The model range included passenger cars with coupe and roadster body styles. They were often used in rally racing. Even today, racers in these vehicles participate in competitions for classic car enthusiasts.

Advantages of these cars

• Affordable price. Starting from 1958, a budget roadster – the Sprite – was produced under this brand. Its low price was determined, in particular, by the fact that the manufacturer didn’t develop new systems and spare parts. They used components from other vehicles of this make, produced earlier.
• Original exterior. For instance, a peculiar feature of the first generation Sprite roadster was protruding headlights mounted on the bonnet. The novelty was nicknamed «frogeye» because of them.
• Compact dimensions. The Sprite model was designed to allow easy storing in a small garage. Sizes of the first generation car were as follows: the length was 3,480 mm, width – 1,346 mm, height – 1,200 mm.
• Small weight. A sports model, the 100S, was launched in 1953. To improve aerodynamics, the manufacturer dropped bumpers and roof, installed a plastic windscreen and an aluminium cylinder head. Other components for Austin-Healey 100S cars were made of lightweight materials too.
• Innovative solutions. The 100S became the world’s first production car with brake discs installed on both axles. While unitized body design, thanks to which most of the load was distributed on panels, was a construction feature of the Sprite.
