"Frogeye Sprite - The Complete Story" is the only book to have been written exclusively about the iconic Mark 1 Austin Healey Sprite. The headlights in the bonnet and unusual radiator grill shape gave the car a cheeky grin, so it soon gained the name 'Frogeye'.

Topics covered include: .The car's racing success with drivers such as Stirling Moss, John Sprinzel, Paddy Hopkirk and Alec Poole .The special-bodied and bespoke grand touring versions such as the Sebring Sprite, Alexander GT and Lenham GT, plus the one-off Lumbertubs Sprite .Modern day Sprites - new-builds and restorations .Owners' experiences of living with and driving the Frogeye .Information about clubs and support for owners .Foreword by Bic Healey.
