That car was for sale back in Aug/Sep time last year.

If I'm right, it hasn't got the classic curvy back end to it. It's got the later post '64 sprite (same as midget), arse.

Here's a nice trio.

Quite right - the one linked to isn't a Frogeye - it is similar to a kit produced by Hall's garage using a fibreglass front, rear hinged (a proper Sprite is a front hinged bonnet).

Some were altered like this in period.

The proper Frogeye was produced from 58 to 61 so this is way too late a car as well.

(a proper Sprite is a front hinged bonnet).

Never seen a Frogeye with a front hinged bonnet, (like a Triumph Spitfire).
