The antithesis to your stereotypical American open-topped sports car, the Austin-Healey Sprite was conceived in Britain for UK roads and drivers. With a production run spanning from 1958 to 1971 over four series (known as the Mark I, II, III, and IV), it was positioned as a low-cost yet fun car that could be easily maintained. Of course, Sprites made it to many other countries, including Stateside, as evidenced by this 1959 Austin-Healey Sprite that we're selling right now. It's received a new Oselli 1275cc Inline-4 engine with just 2,000 miles on it and is your ideal weekend toy.
Measuring just 137 inches from tip to tail, this 1959 Austin-Healey Sprite is far more than just a friendly face. Those lovable bug-eyed or frog-eyed headlamps are the essence of the car's character, with its eager-mouthed, smiling grille right beneath, channeling air for the small but plucky motor to breathe and be cooled by. This car is said to come with various weather protection options that include two bikini tops, a tonneau top, and a full top with side curtains. At the rear, you'll find a kicked-up stance and a jaunty exhaust pipe for one last sign of joie de vivre. We've also got a lovely set of period alloys to admire. Inside, don't expect dual-zone climate control, Apple CarPlay, and powered this-and-that. No, this 1959 Austin-Healey Sprite is the definition of digital detox. Need to charge your phone? Forget it. There isn't even a place to keep your phone, so keep it in your pocket or, better still, at home. Instead, you get two low-backed seats, three pedals, a sporty steering wheel, a gear lever, three pedals, and some beautiful analog Smiths gauges. This is the standard feature set of a Sprite. We also observe what appears to be a heater for keeping you warm during those brisk early morning drives.
Originally, a Mark I Sprite like this 1959 Austin-Healey Sprite would have seen a 948cc in-line 4-cylinder engine powering it, with all of 43hp from the factory. However, as we've told you, this car has received a new engine. The new engine is a larger 1,275cc unit that's most likely from a Mark IV car and was rated at 65hp when new. Drive goes to the rear wheels via a four-speed manual transmission. This car also has front disc brakes, an aluminum radiator, a racing cam, and electronic ignition. What are you waiting for? Buy this car and experience true motoring nirvana in its rawest form. It's far more pleasing to wring out a small engine than it is a constantly corral a large one, after all.
The '50s and '60s were the golden era of open-top British motors, and the car that ranked as one of Britain's finest was the legendary Austin Healey Sprite.

Present today is this lovely 1961 Austin Healey Sprite. This British classic is reported to have 15,000 miles on its clock, is fully restored, and makes for the perfect weekend driver or track-focused project.

There’s nothing quite like a classic British sports roadster for your enjoyment in fine weather, top down, rorty exhaust note, and the wind in your face. The polar opposite of the American large car with a big displacement V8, the British roadster relies on small dimensions, light weight, cutesy looks, and an engine that produces just enough power to maintain a sprightly pace on a country road. Sounds interesting? This 1963 Austin-Healey Sprite is an ideal entry point, and it’s a numbers-matching vehicle to boot. This could be your digital detox tool for the weekends, and one to free your spirit.
The Austin-Healey 3000 is one of the larger examples of a quintessential '60s British sports car. Made between 1959 and 1967, it came with a larger engine and an overall more spacious interior. Hence, if you’re searching for a British roadster that’s more spacious than the stereotype, pick this 1961 Austin-Healey 3000 BN7 from our carefully curated inventory. Bearing a mere 15,000 miles on the odometer, this car has reportedly been fully restored, which is why it looks amazing. And let us tell you a little secret; it reportedly goes as well as it looks!
The fourth-generation Ford Fairlane of the ‘60s offered a happy middle ground for those who wanted a large sedan or coupe but didn’t want to stretch to the levels that the Galaxie offered. Our featured Ford Fairlane has been on the receiving end of some loving restoration work and reports an all-new interior along with other key components. With a 260ci V8 engine, the owner reports a mileage of 47,200 on the odometer.
Say hello to the 1968 Chevrolet Camaro SS. You may be familiar with the name; after all, it’s one of the most iconic cars out there. It was a proper performance car that took the Camaro name to new heights. One of the downsides of this kind of fame is that imitators are aplenty — not all Camaros bore the SS moniker when they left the showroom. However, our featured car is reported to be a true SS. Moreover, it’s undergone a complete restoration to bring it to its current condition.
Would you like to own a vehicle that’s a sports car and a pickup truck rolled into one surprisingly stylish package? Well, that’s what the Chevy El Camino has been offering for several years, until it bowed out in 1987. This interesting body style provided the ride quality and handling of a car, paired with some load-lugging capabilities more atypical of pickup trucks. Called the Coupe Utility segment, this would go on to become immensely popular in countries such as Australia and South Africa. So if you’re a Coupe Utility fan, check out this 1987 Chevrolet El Camino SS with just 5,000 original miles that we’re selling right now. The current owner reports that it’s had a recent oil change, and comes with a maintenance manual, plus an original car cover to keep it safe should you need to park it outdoors.
