Frog eyes...

This Austin-Healey "frog eyed" Sprite has often made me smile. It's been a long term restoration project for a guy living in my street. It was only when I was walking past today that it really registered how absurdly tiny it is. The car parked behind it on the road is a Suzuki of some description which could only be described as a small car yet the Sprite is barely two thirds its width. In a nation that is constantly warned about the perils of the rise of obesity perhaps everyone should be forced to travel in late 1950s car for a while!
