  • Robbert owns an Austin Healey Sprite Mk1 which he has modified for rally use. He drives the little yellow rocket hard, and the story of how he got the car is cool too. Go check out the video, and don't forget to give us a like and a share if you enjoyed it!
    This is the second in a series of portraits we made in collaboration with Roadr driving gloves. This DrivePact x Roadr series celebrates people who love driving and their cars.

    Let us know in the comments if you'd drive this Austin Healey Sprite Mk1 as a daily, like Robbert did for over a year!

      I certainly would drive it everyday just like I did my own 1958 Mk1 Frogeye which I owned 1974-1975.

      I had a bugeye in high school, and drove it all year. Didn't really have a working heater, but I didn't care. This is in Canada, with cold, snowy winters.

    Lovely. I wish I hadn't had to sell mine in 1977 but hey. You did well to keep it and I like what you've done.

    Wonderful car, excellent story. I owned a 58 SPRITE purchased in 1968. I miss it. I now have a 1963 MGB.. I think it is time to make it a rally car, thanks for the inspiration. .

    I had a Frogeyed back in the 70s (great little car) which was originally a very pale blue and I resprayed the same shade of Yellow your car is. It was obviously not an original colour but I felt it looked good .... clearly you do as well

    I have two I'm restoring, my father's. One was a racecar, neither have been on the road in almost 40 years. I would absolutely drive one every day where salt wasn't on the road.

      Sounds like a great story! When will the cars be on the road again? Good luck with the projects!

      @@drivepact Ideally, Spring of 2022 but I'm not holding my breath. Check out "Econobox Garage" in his project on youtube, his goal is Labor Day, 2021. I figure, I might be able to get them both done in a year and a half of weekly effort. He'll be working on his about 11 months by then.

    Noise (music) and narration is a failing partnership, do 1 or the other but not both together.
