2nd year of production for the endearing Frogeye UK /Bugeye US, a car that a “chap could keep in his shed” There is no cuter car in the world, so easy to maintain & a blast to drive! Made at the MG factory, spawning the MG Midget & collectively known as Spridgets among enthusiasts.
The Sprite's chassis design is notable in that it was the world's first volume-production sports car to use integrated construction, where the sheet metal body panels (apart from the bonnet) take many of the structural stresses. The two front 'chassis' legs which project forward from the passenger compartment, however, stop the shell being a full monocoque. The design is said to have been influenced by the Jaguar D-type.
****Car is located in Warrington, PA****
