Someone in my office snapped this shot and came to me as "the car guy" wondering what it is...

I feel like I should know what it is (I'm sure I've seen that gas tank configuration somewhere....)

So frustrating...

Austin Healey Sprite. Think "Bug-eye" here in the states, or "Frog-eye" in the UK.

That was my first thought but I looked at photos online and didn't see the tank positioned there...

Maybe it wasn't there in all years...

Thanks.

One of the first cars I rebuilt. I remember one trip out fishing in Northern Washington where the throttle cable broke. Drove her 70 miles home using fishing line run under the hood and around the windshield. I think that was back in 1969. Broke down so often before I redid her. I received a "T" handle from my brothers for Christmas that year with directions on how to bolt it to the front. Then just pull it home like a wagon. And we think Z cars are small.

Theres a real nice bugeye convertible near my house.
