Brief model history

Introduced in 1958, the first-generation Sprite became famous as the “Frogeye” (or “Bugeye” in the US) thanks to its distinctive bonnet-mounted headlamps. With its simple, light chassis, modest yet eager engine, and playful handling, it grew into a favourite for both street fun and club racing. The Sprite embodies the classic British formula: low weight = big fun.
