The Austin-Healey Sprite is a small open sports car which was produced in the United Kingdom from 1958 to 1971. The Sprite was announced to the press in Monte Carlo by the British Motor Corporation on 20 May 1958, just before that year's Monaco Grand Prix. It was intended to be a low-cost model that "a chap could keep in his bike shed", yet be the successor to the sporting versions of the pre-war Austin Seven. The Sprite was designed by the Donald Healey Motor Company, with production being undertaken at the MG factory at Abingdon. It first went on sale at a price of £669, using a tuned version of the Austin A-Series engine and as many other components from existing cars as possible to keep costs down.

One of 4 which were in a car park (so a photograph was easily possible). Driving away later in the day I saw 6 more - all in top condition and all different (and all in traffic so I couldn't get a shot as I was also driving).
Here's a shot of the famous overlook of the Pennybacker (360) Bridge (located on route 360). This bridge is located about 20 minutes Northwest of Austin, TX. It's a famous overlook with a beautiful view overlooking the top of the bridge with Austin Lake sweeping through.
Austin, had he lived, would have one day been my Son-In-Law. Instead, he gave his life on August 3, 2007, fighting a structural fire as a member of the Noonday Volunteer Fire Department. Austin was a hero, not for how he died, but how he lived. He was a good son, a best friend and soul mate to my daughter TJ, and most notably for his unashamed faith in God. Always smiling, ready to lend a hand, or just hang out, he was loved by all who knew him. He will be missed, but we don't say goodbye, but "See Ya Later."
A westbound BNSF manifest freight with three Warbonnets grinds up Mullan Pass at Austin Siding, on Montana Rail Link's 2nd Subdivision. MRL has announced that it will have PTC installed on its main line subdivisions by 2022. That most likely means the end of what's left of MRL's searchlights.

Here is a picture of the man himself, at the wheel of his rubberneckin-mobile. We almost ran into him in the parking lot at Barton Springs. I managed to get off a shot.
Difficult to be sure about its age and engine size, or even whether it's an Austin.
Got a more unusual Mini to come from later in the day.
