1964 Austin Healey Sprite mkII | Swannington, Leicestershire

The Austin Healey Sprite mkII is a small British roadster that gave the Sprite a more practical, modern face. Its headlights sit in the wings rather than on top of the bonnet, and it has a full-width grille and an opening boot lid. It shares its basic shape with the MG Midget, and the pair are known together as Spridgets. This 1964 car is blue with a blue interior, a matching scheme that keeps its little body looking neat in shot. It has the 1098cc engine, the larger of the two sizes offered on the mkII, and it seats two. Its compact proportions leave plenty of the location visible around it. Those proportions suit period photography, fashion and editorial work and music videos, where a small blue car sits easily in frame. Its early-1960s lines also work for film and TV scenes set in that decade. A wedding arrival or personal hire works well too. The car is based in Swannington, Leicestershire.
