[Healeys] Healey but Sprite

[Patrick & Caroline Quinn]

Greetings

 

The last of the original Mille Miglias took place in 1957, however four AH Sprite Mk1s were prepared for the model’s launch on 20 May 1958, a date that coincided with the Monaco Grand Prix. Always with an eye for publicity DMH with BMC PR arranged for the launch at the GP when there would be quite a few motoring writers present.

 

Needless to say it was a smart move.
