Austin-Healey Sprite Targo Florio

Here's video of one of the best looking and most powerful Healey Sprites ever produced. The injected 1275 sounds unlike any Sprite I've heard. I would love to flog it around the track just once.

Yeah, those Targa Sprites are some of the most glorious-looking cars. The one in the video is a 5-speed. Wonder if that's original? (I sort of doubt it). Also, it looks like a very close ratio box.....2nd gear looked good for about 60 mph.

I have a friend who's building a Sebring Sprite clone and I think he wants to build the rear section with a Kamm tail like that car.

Here's some regular photos of Targa Sprites
