about me

Austin-Healey Sprite MkIII.  In 1963 the Sprite MkII and Midget MkI gained a 1098cc 55bhp A-series engine and disc brakes, and in 1964 the wind-up windows MkIII Sprite was launched.

Austin-Healey Sprite MkIII. I used to have one of these. To lock it you had to close the door, insert your key, and turn. It was impossible to lock your keys in the car. These days it is easy. Progress? Don’t get me started on progress! This website is the musings of a grumpy old bloke who wonders where did it all go wrong.
