dsl ◊ 2014-11-04 18:27	I looked at this and thought AH Sprite more than Midget for those wheels - but was wrong as both models got them in Oct 69 and unless you can read grille or steering wheel badges or the script on sills are identical. But noticed something else in book and online photos - Oct 69-Sept 70 Spridgets have black screen pillars - chrome means Oct 70+ which is fine for Midgets, but for Sprites means final 3 months of Austin-Healey badging until Jan 71 and then 6 months as just Austin Sprite until July 71. Calling this a Midget.
