A 1000 Spridgets?

HERITAGE MOTOR CENTER – Spridget50 has shaped to be one of the largest gathering of Spridgets ever.

The members: Healy Driver’s Club, MG Owners Club, MG Car Club, Austin-Healy Club and the Midget and Sprite Club gathered a 1000 Austin Healy Sprites and MG Midgets to mark the car’s 50th birthday. This was the largest collection of Sprites, Midgets and derivatives to be ever gathered in one place.

Many cars made appearances, as confessed by Classic Car Magazine, “Rare and historic cars such as the original press car 'PBL 75' and John Sprinzel’s Sebring Sprite 'PMO 200' with members of the Healey family…”

The Spridget is one of the cutest cars ever in automotive history. This event reminded us of the successes of the car as an economic and high-performance engine. Go Spridgets.

Long live Spridgets! Happy birthday!
