Austin-Healey Sprite
Austin-Healey Sprite, 1958 small open UK sports car affectionately known as "frogeye" or "bugeye" for its distinctive cute look, was intended to be low-cost model that "a chap could keep in his bike shed". It still had top speed about 133 kmph, could make it to 100 kmph speed in roughly 21 seconds and drink about 6.6 l/100 km, which for the time was not bad at all. John Sprinzel and Willi Cave won their class on the 1958 Alpine with it and in 1959, it introduced itself to US market by winning 12-hour race at Sebring. It is still used in vintage car competitions even today.
