Austin Healey Sprite

Austin Healey Sprite at the Portland International Auto Show in Portland, Oregon, on January 28, 2006

This classic British roadster spent most of its life as a street car. The current owner, Dave Franks, purchased it - rusty, dirty and barely running - out of storage in 1999 and began the task of converting it to a race car. Today the Sprite is vintage correct, with 1275 cc engine, close ratio gearbox and Weber carb. It is raced regularly in the Oregon Region SCCA Vintage Class at Portland International Raceway.
