Austin Healy Sprites look like the happiest cars. Built from 1958 to 1971, they all seem smiling, playful, and puppy-dog cute. So it's sad to see one sitting out in the elements like an animal in an ASPCA commercial. You can almost hear Sarah McLachlan singing mournfully in the background as this Sprite sits abandoned, rusting away.
Fortunately, the guys at WD Detailing were given an opportunity to rescue it. When the owner of the scrap yard saw how they transformed the abandoned Volvo 740 wagon a few weeks ago, they were offered a chance to clean up the Sprite and bring it back to life. If they could do that, then the Sprite was theirs for free.
