MG MIDGET/AUSTIN-HEALEY SPRITE

PRICE RANGE £500-11,000

Affordable, easy to work on, great spares and specialist support – and it drives well, too. The only question is why isn’t the Spridget higher up our Top 25? Purists prefer chrome-bumpered cars but enthusiasts simply wanting to enjoy driving will opt for the rubber-bumpered models. All models, however, offer enjoyable classic ownership.
