Thanks Jack
I don't know about well known, but back then there were very few I ever saw
on the streets.
I sold it upon graduation and bought a 1966 Shelby GT 350. The Shelby could
go faster in second gear than the Sprite in fourth !
Many time I've wished I kept the Sprite. If I recall correctly I bought it
for $700 and sold it for $550.

Good looking machine, Ken. I'll bet that car was well known in New Jersey.
Wouldn't it be "neat" (in the '66 vernacular) to have now?

These two images are not posted for any of their
photographic content but for the memories.
I came across these two slides taken over 42 years ago -
probably on a Voightlander folder or a Zeiss Ikon Contessa.
I was surprised by the original slide format - 27mm square.
Film was Kodak Kodachrome. The years or the film have given
these image an almost monochrome appearance. Scanned on my
Nikon Super Coolscan 4000ED.
The images are of a 59 Austin Healy Sprite (Bugeye) that
was my first real car. Got me thru college with only regular
oil/filter changes, a tune up or two and a set of Michelin
radial tires.
The most fun for the buck in a car that I've ever had.
