New Austin Healeys
An improved version of the Austin Healey Sprite sports car, with a restyled body and a more potent engine, have been announced by the British Motor Corporation Slight changes have also been made to the big Austin Healey 3000 sports car.
The former bulbous headlamps of the Sprite have disappeared, and the car now appears with a very attractive body similar to some Italian designs. The bonnet now has a conventional top opening instead of the old system of hingeing the entire front of the bodywork. The engine has been given increased power and additional luggage space has been provided behind the driver's and passenger’s seats The main change to the Austin Healey 3000 is the addition of a third carburettor and a higher lift camshaft
