Austin Healey Sprite Series - 1958-1971

The Austin Healey Sprite, produced between 1958 and 1971, is a beloved British sports car known for its lightweight design, nimble handling, and spirited performance. From the iconic “Frogeye” Sprite Mk I to the refined Mk II, Mk III, and Mk IV models, each iteration brought improvements in styling, comfort, and performance. Available with a range of engines—948cc, 1098cc, and 1275cc—the Sprite remained a favourite among driving enthusiasts and club racers for its agility and engaging driving experience.

Hubs & Spinners

When converting from steel wheels to wire wheels we would recommend the bolt-on splined hubs are used as the integral splined hub conversion requires extensive modification.
