The Sebring Sprite competition program (1959-1965) allowed Austin-Healey to showcase their small-displacement sports cars as 'little giant killers'. In the hands of such top drivers as Sir Stirling Moss, Bruce McLaren, John Sprinzel and Briggs Cunningham they could often outperform more powerful cars. This car, powered by a 64 hp 1098 cc four-cylinder engine was clocked at 130 mph during Le Mans testing in 1964.
A factory entry for the 1964 12 Hours of Sebring for Al Pease and Donna Mae Mims (whose racing motto was THINK PINK!), it retired after just nine laps with a damaged rear axle. It was returned to the factory, ultimately refurbished as a street car and sold to a private collector in America where it saw little use logging just 1,000 miles.
