Austin-Healey Sprite (Mark III, Mk III) Parts 2
It has been suggested here that there was a "short run of vehicles (unknown number) in late 1963 with the Austin Healey Sprite Mk II body/interior but with the Austin Healey Sprite Mk III undercarriage/suspension modifications". Although no source is given for this assertion, the basis may be more than speculation. There are numerous recorded instances throughout Austin Healey Sprite and Midget production where specification changes do not precisely concur with model changes. At the very least, the prototypes for the half-elliptic models are likely to have been taken from the production line and some of these may well have been subsequently sold. However, the number of such cars would have been small.
(At least one such was exported to Italy, where it was still running until wrecked in 1971. It had the full MK III undercarriage and instrument cluster and front disc brakes, but Mk II coachwork.)
