The Austin Healey Sprite, introduced in 1958, was one of the first mass-produced cars to use unitary construction, eliminating the need for a separate chassis. This innovative approach reduced weight and manufacturing costs, making it a budget-friendly sports car. Its ‘Frogeye' and ‘Bugeye' nicknames come from the car's distinctive round headlamp design. And a charming quirk is that the car was initially designed without exterior door handles (to save weight and improve aerodynamics), so drivers and passengers had to reach inside to get in.
