Hey Gang,
I was beset upon this past weekend by a Large Healey enthusiast (no, he wasn't
big... but his car was) who told me that last year for Austin-Healey was 1967.
Now I know the Sprite continued on into 1971 but was it rebadged as just an
Austin Sprite? I'd heard that there was some in-fighting when BMC badge
engineered the Midget and Sprite and maybe DMH pulled his name off of these
models when he quit building the big Healey's. Can anyone verify that the
Sprites following 1967 were still Austin-Healey Sprites, or were they indeed
just Austin Sprites?
Cheers,
Tom
