Classic Austin-Healey Sprite.
The original Sprite - known as either the Frogeye (UK) or the Bugeye (in the States). Engine accessibility was excellent although you could easily bang your head if you weren't careful!
Austin-Healey Books Whether for the Sprite as shown below, or any other type of Austin-Healey, it is worth having a look on Amazon for books, DVDs, Videos etc.

Sprite on display at Tatton Park, Cheshire.
If you have any more info or restoration stories about this particular Sprite, or Sprites in general, I'd really like to feature it on oldclassiccar.
I took all these photos at the classic & vintage show held at Tatton Park, in June 2005. The Austin-Healey shown above was one of several hundred vehicles held in the grounds of this National Trust property.
