The first Sprites Frogeye/Bugeye were designed as affordable sports cars. The 1961 restyle Mk 2 gave the Sprite a more conventional face; at the same time an Mg version was announced. The power output was increased from the same sized engine. In 1962 the engine was increased to 1098cc and 55bhp. Winding windows came with the Mk 3 in 1964 as well as a revised folding hood. With other small alterations production of these small sports cars continued until July 1971.
