Buyer’s notes
About the Austin-Healey Sprite Mk2
The Mk II Sprite of May 1961 dropped the Frogeye’s bonnet-mounted headlamps for a conventional front, and shared its body with the new MG Midget. It kept the 948 cc engine, with larger carburettors, until a 1,098 cc engine arrived in October 1962.
What moves the price
- Engine: the later 1,098 cc cars are quicker than the 948 cc ones.
- Structure: the condition of the sills, floors and other structural steel.
- Originality, since many Sprites have been modified or fitted with later engines.
Before you buy, check
- The sills, floors, A-posts and door bottoms for rust and repairs.
- The engine number against the car’s records and its stated specification.
- The quality of any restoration, with photographs of the work.
