Unlike many of the restomods on our list, the Mythron Cars reimagined Austin-Healey Sebring Sprite costs less than six figures. Indeed, a price tag of £65,000, including a donor car, means this enhanced British classic delivers plenty of value for money.
With such tiny dimensions, and a kerb weight of less than 600kg, upping the Healey’s output to nearly 120hp makes for performance that is certainly ‘sprightly’. And only 16 examples will be made, guaranteeing exclusivity.
We said: ‘The Healey FRT’s chassis feels alert and excitable – perhaps too much so on pockmarked surfaces, where I suspect the softer FR version would fare better – yet it doesn’t have the tied-down feel of a modern track-focused car. There’s still plenty of scope for playfulness here, encouraged by a short wheelbase and complete lack of electronic driver aids.’
