John Baggott has owned his Frogeye Sprite for over forty years, originally using it as his everyday car to drive to and from work. More recently, he subjected it to a detailed nine-year restoration that was completed in June 2005, and now enjoys driving it as a classic. He has a vast knowledge of the Austin Healy Sprite and its sister car, the MG Midget, having built, maintained, tuned, sprinted, raced and rallied various examples. Since he forged a new career as an author in 1991, John has written numerous magazine articles about Spridgets.
