Stephanie Penn was the lucky winner of our 1958 Austin Healey ‘Frogeye’ Sprite. This wasn’t her first experience with a Frogeye though as her husband had one when they first met.

They ended up running away together with the car and even lived in it for a couple of weeks!

Stephanie recently reached out and said that she thought we might like to see the Frogeye her husband had when they first met.  No wonder it was love at first sight!

“He got 100mph out of it down Telegraph Hil near Exeter with three of us on board!”

The story of Stephanie and her Sprite is a beautiful one and one that should be heard in her own words.
