When the Austin Healey ‘frogeye’ Sprite was introduced in
1958, a brand new trend was started when sports car driving became available to
the masses. This 2-seater sports car was designed by Donald Healey, with the
purpose of being an affordable model “a chap could keep in his bike shed”. Its reasonable
price combined the huge grin created by its ‘frogeye’ headlights and grille made
sure it was an immediate hit in the motoring world.
Over 50 years later and 42 years since production of the ‘frogeye’
Sprite ceased, this small, quirky British classic continues to capture the
hearts of many. Though the Austin Healey Sprite as well as the MG Midget range
continued to develop, whilst keeping the original idea alive, it is the ‘frogeye’
Sprite that remains the most loved due to its ‘fun’ appeal and appearance. Due
to the continued enthusiasm all over the world, more and more drivers consider
classic car hire to fulfil their dream of experiencing the legendary little
car.
For those fans not lucky enough to be members of the ‘frogeye’
owners club, classic car hire is an exciting opportunity. By hiring a car, fans
are able to enjoy everything that they love about the ‘frogeye’ Sprite, for a
reasonable and affordable price, just like it was originally meant to be. For
motorists, there is nothing better than journeying through the quiet British
roads for a day, or even a weekend in the legendary Sprite, greeting other cars
with a friendly smile.
Hiring a ‘frogeye’ Sprite, or another popular British
classic car allows people to truly enjoy driving, and experience the freedom of
motorists of the past. Alongside the popularity of ‘frogeye’ hire, more and
more people are also looking to enjoy another British favourite, the MorrisMinor. One of the longest running British production cars, built from 1948 to
1971, the ‘Magic Moggie’ as it is known as by diehard fans, can also be enjoyed
for a reasonable price for those craving a true British motoring experience.
