1960 Austin Healey Sprite
A nice looking Frog Eye being enjoyed on a hot summer's day. My parents had a similar car when I was very young. I can just about remember travelling in the car. Of course baby and child seats had yet to be invented, and in any case the car had no seat belts.
When driving with one parent I initially travelled in the passenger footwell; when I grew a bit I sat on the seat unrestrained. If we had to stop quickly I was prevented from sliding off the seat by the driver extending their left arm....
When travelling with both my parents I sat on a little seat which fitted over the transmission tunnel. They had to sell the Sprite when I got too big for it. It was one of their favourite cars.
