Gateway Classic Cars of Louisville is proud to present this 1959 Austin-Healey Bugeye Sprite!
Introduced in 1958, the Austin-Healey Sprite quickly became one of the most beloved British sports cars of its era. Its lightweight design, approachable price point, and unmistakable "Bugeye" headlights gave it instant charm. Sporting a nimble chassis and spirited engine, the Sprite embodied the joy of open-air motoring and remains a favorite among collectors and enthusiasts who appreciate pure, uncomplicated driving fun.
This 1959 example is finished in an eye-catching yellow exterior, a vibrant color that highlights the playful character of the Bugeye's iconic front fascia. The body presents with smooth lines, well-fitting panels, and the unmistakable upright headlights that define the model's personality. Classic-style wheels and proper brightwork contribute to an authentic and well-preserved appearance.
Inside, the roadster is trimmed in black upholstery, offering a clean and minimalist cockpit true to the Sprite's original design. The seats, dash, and interior surfaces appear well cared for, maintaining the car's classic British sports-car atmosphere. With an odometer reading 60,466 miles, this Sprite reflects a life of enjoyment paired with consistent attention.
Powering this lightweight roadster is its signature 4-cylinder engine, paired with a 4-speed manual transmission. Together they deliver the engaging, mechanical driving experience that makes a Bugeye Sprite so appealing. Thanks to its low weight, responsive steering, and simple but effective drivetrain, the Sprite offers a level of connection and feedback that stands apart from modern motoring.
Additional details such as tidy exterior trim, a clean presentation under the bonnet, and a well-maintained cabin further support the impression of a thoughtfully preserved classic. Documentation or service history may accompany the car, offering added confidence and value for collectors.
