A Classic Frogeye
March 24, 2023
Another stunning car has arrived at the Bridge Classic Cars workshop in the form of our 1958 Austin Healey Sprite, commonly known as the Frogeye thanks to its prominent bonnet-mounted headlights.
After initially being supplied to America, it came back to the UK in 1963. The previous owner has owned the car since 2008 and has completed various modifications to the engine and gearbox to help make it more usable on modern roads.
Our 1958 Austin Healey Sprite is a beautiful classic car and we are very excited to have it with us in the workshop.
New Piece – New Clutch Slave Cylinder on the 1959 Austin Healey Frogeye Sprite

The new clutch slave cylinder for the 1959 Austin Healey Frogeye Sprite has arrived at Bridge Classic Cars to be installed on the classic sports car.
Once the piece is in place and the hydraulic system completely bled, the workshop can begin to test and check over the rest of the car as part of the jobs requested by its owner.
Inspection – Clutch Slave Cylinder on the 1959 Austin Healey Frogeye Sprite
March 11, 2022
The 1959 Austin Healey Frogeye Sprite currently in the Bridge Classic Cars workshop at our Suffolk HQ has been having the clutch system inspected and assessed.
After very little use since being replaced, the inside of the slave cylinder has corroded and seized. The brakes and the clutch for the Frogeye Sprite share the same hydraulic system, so when the team at Bridge Classic Cars attempted to bleed the brakes, the seized clutch slave wouldn’t allow the brakes to be fully bled and adjusted.
A new slave cylinder is required in order to complete the overhaul.
