There is very little in this world that's as fun as driving a slow car quickly.
Idk, I've driven some fast cars the way they were meant to be driven and it's pretty exhilarating.
True! A city drive with my Fiat 126 feels like a big race event!
Back in the 60s the little sprint used to kill mustang on a race track.
That's why my 92 Miata I bought new was my daily driver until 3 years ago. Now my nephew has it and he loves it. Getting in that car was like putting on a glove made for my hand.
I agree
Imagine driving on a quiet Kansas street and suddenly seeing two guys in matching shirts crammed into a tiny convertible loudly laughing
but the shirts didn't match .. just in the same style
We did get quite a few looks! All smiles.
@@euroasianbob9268 I bet! Lmao
@@scootersfrog they were identical shirts...
@@gbolton200 no , no they are not identical
Hoovie: “You can’t keep them all.” Says the man with more cars than most people have pairs of underwear.
I should really buy more underwear
He doesn't really keep most of them tho. He sells a lot
I use that same line, am also a wheeler dealer and am also a collector haha. If you sell 99% and keep 1%, you eventually end up with a collection
@@filipeferreirac That's what I was thinking.
@@filipeferreirac LOL
The joy of a low-powered car is that you literally can drive it like a race car all the time, extracting everything it has to offer. That is pure fun!
Wizard: "Welcome back to Wizard's Workshop. Today we have this seriously cool little Sprite".
"This car is now worth 1/2 the amount Hoovie spent to purchase it because he blew up the motor and transmission driving it home. My new boat will be bigger than the others I own."
"...and the repair bill is going to be so high, _I_ can afford to buy that 356."
And because Austin is English the Wizard will love this being so simple to work on.
@@mightymikethebear - This is extra hilarious as I just watched a video on his new bigger boat yesterday!
A motoring journalist that reviewed the Sprite when it was released later said it was "The most fun you could have with your trousers on". You made a good buy there. Pick your child up from school in that and see what attention you get.
but very unsafe in an accident
@@nesttea2239 Most classic cars are. I think it's just something you have to be mindful of every time you take one out, especially since just scraping a bumper could mean tens of thousands in repairs.
@@nesttea2239 Not more unsafe than being on a motorcycle. If you are looking for safety get a minivan.
Drive it defensively like a motorcycle.
I think that was old Tom MCahill who said that.
As an Englishman, proud to see Hoovie is looking like he's get a bigger smile out of this little old car than his Lambos.
I think I see an MG B roadster in that garage too.... Next to the Integrale... Now that's a car Hoovie should go throw about!
I agree 👍
Brits always wins.
he will be racing an Arial atom turbo round the track next, or buying the three-wheel Morgan 😆
@@GenX-jedi Or a Westfield SEiGHT 🤣
You’ve just discovered why Colin Chapman and countless designers before him were obsessed with weight and handling before horsepower.
Now make it electric! Small battery pack, one rear motor, maybe 200hp with insanely instant torque and the lowest center of gravity... It's the perfect car for that.
@@aussie2uGA If only it could be done in a way that is reversible. Nothing to stop you building a kit car copy with Tesla running gear, mind you...... ;)
@@someonebald2022 That nothing to stop you would be Tesla. They are very much a closed shop and reverse engineering their systems is challenging.
@@someonebald2022 There's a company in England that specialises in making reversible EV kits. If you check out the Johnny Smith's 'Car Pervert' channel, it's on there.
Americans still haven't worked that out
People get to caught up in HP numbers when what really matters is the driving experience
True, biggest sellers are usually NOT the fastest, Porsche 924 & Boxster, Ferrari California , most people just want the bling & the experience
never a truer statement Tom. How a car makes you feel to own, to enjoy, share with others and what it reminds you of and means to your soul.
@@keithprinn720 This is what i’ve come to realise with age, it’s not all about power, it’s about how you use what you’ve got. Although lots of power in a straight line is always a fun time!
True but HP does add to the driving experience. Its all about finding a good balance really, some HP in a great handling car can be the ultimate driving experience.
@@goleafsgo8496 definitely don't get me wrong our 300hp subaru impreza WRX was alot of fun but my 118hp MG was also loads of fun but in a different way
The Frogeye Sprite is just a wonderful little car and I'm not surprised you couldn't resist buying it. A good one is £20K+ here in the UK so $20K sounds like a nice deal.
It sounds like Bob has done Hoovie a real solid on this one.
Its a good deal here too. A well maintained/restored bugeye easily fetch 25-30k in the us. Obviously shitboxes are still cheap, but good ones are certainly not
@@SoupDragon63 as happens with everything tbh. Hell, I saw a check citation sell for 15k last week. Having an entire generation thats never seen something helps values a bit
@@uzivatel56 poor bob didn't even want to sell it
@@SoupDragon63 too bad when you don't buy it then. I remember like 10 years back I saw a bunch of Ferrari 246s selling under 50k (€). But I was still a minor and couldn't persuade anyone I knew to buy one. Now they cost 100s of thousands
Maybe you could get a better deal if you stopped calling him “Urination Bob.”
Lol so many ppl are butt hurt over the nickname.
He's just doing it to piss him off.
Well he bladder stop it before the deal is called off.
Urination Bob is a piss poor nickname. Euro Nation Bob sounds much better.
He shouldn’t be mad, bob has a money making business
Are we TOTALLY sure he’s not saying “Urination Bob”?
I was starting to think that my english was very shitty
I'm totally sure that is what he IS saying. Nothing wrong with Hoover's videos other than he talks much too much and waves his hands around like a windmill. At least he's not as bad as that salivating idiot in California de Muro.
He is saying that. I hear that every time. If he isn't I have no explanation but in this video and The Wizard visit he says urination Bob each time
@@JimParshall you don't suppose he's just having a little "fun" at Bob's expense, do you?
The auto generated captions say urination bob
Hoovie's doing what he does best: Impulsive dumb buys. However, on this one, I can't blame him. But seriously, that's why we love him. He's the innofensive crazy guy that make people smile and laugh.
well said * claps *
And how much rust covered up by bondo as its a rust belt car had one back in the day was a fun car
But I swear if he decides to do anything to "give it a little more power" I'm gonna punch him in the kisser.
Yeah, exacly
@@kraig7777 how about a nice electric conversion?
Usually when Hoovie buys a car I think to myself "Why Why Why!!!" and shake my head. This time I actually yelled "YES!" out loud to my empty office. As a one time owner of a sprite that I have regretted selling for years, congratulations. It is really the most fun in the smallest package.
Possibly the coolest car in Hoovies collection. I'm not even joking.
Yeah because you can push it to its limits and have a blast since its not stupid fast!!
Plus it does not even have an engine light on or any other failure lights
@@gtaquatics9366 Don't want any of that. They'd be on all the time.
It is really interesting the way it was engineered. The car is nicely designed
EuroNationBob must be one of the nicest and friendliest car dealer out there. Always liked watching him whenever he’s featured in Hoovies’ videos.
Hoovies gotta enunciate better when he says his name, I thought he was saying urination bob this whole time
@@crsxbike2164he actually was saying urination bob 😂 he calls him like that as a joke sometimes
Bob has to be the most patient guy in the world lmao
g r
I think Hoovie boosts his sales quite a bit.
@@DUMBERTHANYOUTHINK That and any time Hoovie comes by he knows he's going to make a sale lol
The little Sprite definitely brought more smiles to Hoovie's face than the Porsche... great choice! Love the Frogeye! :)
I couldn't imagine any other car that fits hooves personality so well. I love it!
This the best car you have bought in a long time. Bob must love you, that little bugeye is easily worth 30-35 k in the condition its in. Enjoy it.
Tyler just learned something that the sports car industry has forgotten, that horsepower isn't everything. The horsepower and 0 to 100 sprint races are ridiculous because that is not the way most people drive, even Porsches. The Sprite gives thrills because it is open, agile and low to the ground; the 356 is elegant, quick enough to cruise the highway, and oh that air-cooled engine note. However I am amazed that the British produced Sprite has stayed ahead of the rust.
What? First off, the car industry has done an amazing job of making performance-focused cars that handle well on a track. Even the Mustang GT and Camaro SS are very decent track cars, and the ZL1 and GT500 are downright amazing, also the Porsches are certainly monsters on the track. Even Tesla put work into making the Plaid model a decent car on the track after hearing people complain about how lackluster the Model 3 was.
So, I have no idea what you're talking about. Sounds like you're stuck in the wrong decade, or you just are completely oblivious to modern times.
Second, if you're talking about small cars that are fun, there's the Fiat 500 Abarth, Miata, 86/BRZ, Porsche's own 718 GT4, etc.
Either way, you have no idea what you're talking about.
@@rustler08 I agree: you have no idea what he's talking about.
@@rustler08 you've got it wrong!! Lightness is king... The late Colin Chapman owner of Lotus said "just add lightness" all those cars you mentioned are 4 times heavier than that Little sprite.. It's not all about horsepower
@@rustler08 the key part you missed is "not how people drive"
A formula 1 car is great on the track. Not so great when driving around town.
The frogeye will be fun within the speed limit. If you have to break the speed limit to make it fun, then it's not really going to be fun day to day.
@@Ijusthopeitsquick As a former owner of a Fiat X/19, I just want to say that your comment is pure gold! Thanks for the razor-sharp wit.
i love how tyler is just shamelessly calling his friend urination bob now
He's called him that for years you must be new
@@CodeineAbdulJabbar _get em_
I know i like how deliberate he was with wizard who was doing his best to articulate the name correctly, you could nearly see the black cloud above wizard
I’m sure Bob loves it too
Bob is annoying when he's in car selling mode.
Love how Euroasian Bob went full car salesman in the bugeye.
Was just thinking the same thing.
Is it wrong that I like the Bug Eye Sprite more than the Porsche?...
No it has so much more character
@A Man In A Hat I wouldn't call them ugly (there are way worse looking cars), but they're quite bland. There's nothing really special about a Porsche. The Sprite is by far the more interesting car.
Yes, but not super wrong.
The frog-eye have always been one of my favorites. It's just cute.
Yes.
Austin Healey Sprite may be slow, but it's a BLAST to drive.
The best thing about a Bug Eye is that you can have a blast driving the shit out of it and still have a license when you're done.
and not have to stop at every second fuel station.
At one time my father was one of the only guys in upstate new York working on and restoring mgs. His shop had tons of them. Those bugeye sprites are almost identical to the mg midget and I drove tons of them. They were not my favorite, but I will say they are tons of fun.
My father bought a 1959 Sprite (baby blue) in 1960; his very first sports car, when I was at the tender age of 15. He taught me how to drive with that Sprite, and I loved every minute I could spend behind the wheel! This video has brought back many wonderful memories for me, for which I thank you, Hoovie! In 1962, he traded that Sprite for a Triumph TR3, but driving the TR3 was never a match for the fun factor of the Sprite. Thank you sir, for making me smile again! God bless you and yours.
A common upgrade to the frog eye sprite is to swap the front drums with MG Midget front discs.
…and a balanced 1275…. and straight cut gears… which it sounds like it either already has or you fixin to have a aluminum case full of shrapnel
Driving a slow car fast is the best way to fly.
Can be true yeah but I still prefer shredding in my fast car something about being the fastest on the road can't beat it.
A good handling slow car is a blast! 👍
more fun to drive a slow car fast than a fast car slow.
As an Englishman this makes me very happy. Love those little sprites, you don't see many around anymore here because they've mostly returned back to the earth because of our weather. I really hope you keep it and enjoy it.
" FROGEYE Sprite " Parents had a cream one great for racing around the country roads in Scotland 😎
SprogEyed Frite.
"The hell, dude?!" - Tylers' Beck Spyder.
That should've been gone months ago. It's surprising it's kept his interest this long
I miss the little Bugger already!!
Hello
It's Urination Bob!
Yo its Urination Bob ☝️👊
Who Tyler?
Nice one Bob 👍
The engine in the Bugeye isn’t stock, the velocity stacks on the SU carbs are a give away. The original SU’s are 1 1/8 inch ID, those are 1 1/2 inch ID from the later MKII MG Midget/AH Sprite. To make the bigger carbs work it surely has a higher lift/duration cam, probably head work done to make it fully compatible with unleaded gasoline along with a bump in compression. Love Bugeye Sprite’s, I own one now that’s next on the restoration list come fall. Easily my favorite vintage car ever and this one looks like a good buy at $20,000 US as prices for these cars have been rising the last year.
That bug eye is literally a miata from the 50s
The Austin looks like a Porsche that just walked in on his surprise party.
utr
Not an Austin, it's an Austin-Healey ;-)
That had me rolling in laughter!
@@barryblackmore6080 I cleaned them back in the day,late 80's and the 2nd job after i left school.It was light blue in colour,the MG Midget was so tiny.
When they bring a Porsche onto a Austin Healey party 😂😂😂
Bob is such a humble person.
Thanks for the nice comment!
I took a ride in one of these about 30 years ago with a friend who was considering buying it. I begged him to do it because I was a poor college student and couldn’t afford one, and I wanted to live vicariously through him. It remains one of my all time favorite car memories. It is almost impossible to be sad when you’re in one of these cars.
Did he buy it?
@@icarus6087 Sadly, no because he would have had to sell his beloved Baja Bug which he has restored multiple times and still has after all these years.
You can’t beat the smiles per hour in the bug eye! You clearly enjoy it more than the Porsche. Good for you!
My God, one of the best purchases Hoovie has ever made, I'm speechless.
My cousin had one of these before he died. It was his pride and joy after a life of building, writing about, and maintaining street rods.
Thank you for taking the time to chat with some fans at Barrett Jackson. You are truly a class act!
The car was smiling, looked like it could be your twin, good buy. God bless
The Sprite was the happiest looking car ever made. The front end is just a big smile.
Trabant 500/600 also had a very cute smile :)
@@MetalTrabant auto-zer.com/photo/trabant-600/05/default.html
The Trabant had a face only it's mother could love. That's a fugly car.
02-07 Nissan Murano am I joke a joke to you?
That car literally made my heart smile.
@@jamesmorrison7847 Then you have no soul, or taste in my eyes... sorry for you. Cutest car ever, love it since I was a kid.
It´s called "Frog Eye" and not "Bug Eye" at least here in Europe. A "Bug Eye" is Subaru...
100% this☝️
Well said XL
100% correct and they can be made to be very quick little Frog Eye. 🐸
Beat me to it
It is pretty common to hear them referred to as bugeye's here in the US. "Thanks to the grinning grille and those bulging headlamps, the car was dubbed the “Bugeye” Sprite, or “Frogeye” in the U.K."
Ahh, the lovely sound of an A-series at full chat, fantastic! One of the best little engines ever made.
The subtle dialogue between two long time car sharks is amazing! The 'negging' while doing a walk around and driving to get the price lower is pure art. Of course Hoovie pulls out 'you were my best man' line at the and which dropped the price 10 grand. Amazing!
I can now say that Hoovie finally caught up with my wife and I. We have a '61 Bugeye and it is beyond cool. At car shows, everyone stops and love it. We let little kids have their picture taken in it and the grins are overwhelming! The only problem we have is that in our 70s, it is kind of hard to get in and out. Congratulations Hoovie.
LOVE just LOVE that you have a BUG EYED Sprite... Growing up in the 60's ... in the States ... We ALWAYS called it a BUG EYED Sprite ... never once (didn't have any 'British' friends or acquaintances) called it a frog eyed Sprite ... and STILL one of the 'cutest' cars ever
Exercise! Exercise! Keep the smile going!
My grandfather had one of these back in the ‘50s after he left the army, he used to use it to go from office to office around London as his commuter car. Awesome little machine.
bim
This episode is fantastic. My daughter, back when she was 7 years old, told me that she only wanted two cars for when she was able to drive. A '79 Porsche 928 in Lime Green or any color Bug Eyed Sprite. Now that she's 24 and all grown up, those wants are gone and she's been driving a Land Rover instead. But this brought back those memories. Thanks crew.
i know there is no comparison with a Miata, but there is that sense of open top, nimble handling, that always puts a smile on your face. I daily drive my Miata, and not even my WRX ever made feel this good.
Only Hoovie can scare people in the slowest car ever.
Next week on Hoovie's Garage: Who wants to buy my Subaru powered Beck Spyder?
I’d go along with that.
Yeah, not sure why he bought this thing when he has that fantastic Spyder.
@@OMGWTFLOLSMH why not own both ?
Its crazy that I remmeber watching him film on his iPhone buying old vans and land Yacht . To buying Ferrari's and Lamborghini's. Don't change Hoovie love your content.
My mom had a bug eyed Sprite and to this day she swears that it's one of the most fun cars to drive!
raced a bugeye for 13 years in the SCCA, was a lot of fun
That they are... and so simple to work on.
whatever Karen...lol
I think some of the best Hoovie is when he has a buddy with him. Wizard, Elliot, JR, Urination.... Always makes me smile.
Yeah, I can not blame him for buying that adorable little thing. That car is the happiest machine i've ever seen.
Thats got to be your best purchase yet! Well maybe after the Corvette!
“We are out running a Dodge Caliber” As someone that has a Caliber, it’s not hard to out run one. A Prius looks like a sports car when passing a Caliber.
I have a 1976 Triumph Spitfire that on a good day maybe made 60 hp. I take it on the highway all the time and once I get up to speed, and have a bit of momentum, I'm always yelling at other drivers that there's no reason why I should be passing them.
@@danieljennerman7549 The computer controlled CVT the Caliber has is draining power to try to save fuel. Your 60hp is more than enough to pass a Caliber because you don't have the cars computer trying to stop you from entering the power band. It is a weird feeling to drive though. They put a tach in the dash, but when you push on the gas the RPMs hardly move. You just start gaining speed because the computer is adjusting the CVT 'gearing' to make you go faster.
Don't yell at the driver of a Caliber for their slow acceleration. Pity them because they have no say in the matter.
You clearly over estimate my Spitfire.
@@danieljennerman7549 I'd still rather have your Spitfire over my Caliber.
Real talk Hoovie, I can't remember the last video where a car made you so happy. I think you found a keeper-car!!
You will love this car Hoovie. Making the frog eye go faster is easy. The A series engine is a very simple engine to breath on and it was used in almost every Austin and Morris car for fourty years. The Mini shares the same engine and switching it with a 1300cc block is easy and bolting on a pair of big Strombergs gets the Sprite shifting like sh*t off a shovel. I remember many nights bent over my Sprite in my dad's shed. The only problem was upgrading the brakes. Back in the day there were very few options so mine got launched over a hedge and came to rest in a plowed field while hooning around the back roads of Kent. Lovely little car.
Excellent decision. My Bugeye is probably my favorite car and gets more compliments at Cars and Coffee than anything else. Old me, young women, and kids all love it. Congratulations on a smart buy.
That Austin has great Smiles Per Gallon.
Tyler has to be one of the most genuine and fun cartubers. He is just always so positive and really is a great example for all ages.
seeing tyler finally experience one of my all time favourite cars, then immediately demand he needs to buy it makes me happy
5 years ago I was shopping for a Corvette when I came across a beautiful 1970 Triumph Spitfire. One test drive and I fell in love. It is the funnest car I have ever driven. Muscle car guys don't even talk to me at car shows because they don't get it. Just drive one and see.
You called it Bob. Hoovie was "Bug-eye curious"! 😀
The Sprite isn't for the highway, show it some lurvely twisty back roads and discover why they are still so loved today. 💯👍🏻😁
Daily drove mine for 18 months. Mind you I had a 66 1098. Takes a little longer but you can exceed the speed limit still.
My Dad had a 59 Mk1 “Bugeye” Sprite when I was a kid. Lots of cool memories in that car as a kid.
I'm absolutely in love with the Sprite. Look at her face. That's gotta be the happiest little car on earth. It's exactly what I'd expect to see everywhere at Disney World. 😃👍
Hoovie summed up in one small sentence, " I have absolutely zero impulse control "
"It was more fun to build that car than enjoy it when it was finished" FINALLY someone else gets it!
Genuinely, I have been following your channel for a while now, but this latest purchase is by far the most exciting thing you have bought! It's not a car you get in to, it's a car you put on. I've had a few similar type cars, classic mini's mainly, which are so much fun to drive. Not quick by any means except in the corners. And then seeing the looks on people's face when I get out....I'm 6'6..
By the way, you can easily tune these up....engine swap to a double carb 1275 is easy.
Best decision we’ve ever seen Hoovie make.
Well Tyler, this is one of the few cars you own that we agree on. These are cute, fun and worth every cent of the 20k. A simple car that offers simple fun. That is what a car should be. Fun. Well done you.
The frog eyed sprite is absolutely a product of it's time, there were no wide roads and gentle curves in the UK back then, little C roads no wider than two of these mirror to mirror, and faster B roads where you could wring every ounce of it's 40hp out.
These cars were built to go fast around corners and get you from A to B with a grin on your face!
There are mods to get these to go faster, bored and stroked engines, different carbs, but all in all these are perfect to feel like a driving God
And i know this is prolly sacrilege... But i think it would make for a good platform for a EV conversion.. No fancy tech... Weights nothing and everything bigger than a electric toothbrush will be a power upgrade. =D
@@tawesssoabbox absolutely, but it would be hard to get the weight balance right. I think you'd be best off with the new lightweight supercapacitors as an energy storage device, and a small motor from a Nissan Leaf I think. Certainly not for a good condition vehicle, but certainly for something really rotted and in need of some high cost TLC
This clip was a delight. Couldn't stop smiling and laughing! Congrats on your new addition to the fleet!
I've never had more fun in a car than in my ´72 Alfasud with all the 70 hp. Light cars that you can rev out are just pure joy.
No, you purchased One of the finest handling cars ever made.
0:59 Is that a Lancia Delta Integrale on the right under the Chevy truck???😍😍 80s and 90s rally legend. I was there when Miki Biasion and Tiziano Siviero won the brutal 1988 Safari Rally . I was 5yrs old and still. remember it.
18:40 you can see it again on the left side
Reminds me of the joy of driving the first car that I ever owned: a 1961 Austin Mini 850. Small horsepower motor, non-synchro 1st gear, iffy brakes and 10” wheels… but on a twisty road, it was truly a smile maker 👍🏻
Bob is the best kind of friend. I buy and sell guitars, and I have a friend that buys guitars the way you buy cars. I'll just be showing him something new and fun I picked up and before I even realize it, he's wanting to buy it off of me. And I let it go to him for a good price. Friends, treat each other like Bob and Hoovie.
At last Hoovie buys a car I actually know, about , I had an AH Sprite back in the late 70's early 80's and trust me even a rusted clapped out one like mine could still make you smile on a good day , Well done Tyler, great choice
Hoovie's committed to a lot of poor impulse purchases, but that Sprite impulse was 100% worth it.
Jesus Christ, Bob is a car salesman if I’ve ever seen one...
My uncle had a bug-eyed Sprite when I was a kid. It's the first sports car I ever rode in. It started a decades long love of British sports cars. I really enjoyed this so much!
I had one in the early 70's. They are a hoot, like a big go-kart. Hope you have as much fun as I did. (Careful with 1st gear it's not synchro) Thanks for the fun! 😍

I have been a subscriber of and watching your channel that seems like an eternity. This episode here has to be one of my most favorites of all of them. That Sprite has Hoovie written all over it. This video with your puppy dog comment and the front end looking like that literally made my heart smile. I look forward to more videos with it. They are going to be a real treat.
Want to see more of the Lancia Delta in that storage facility....
I’m with you! Tyler you should have bought the Lancia. Is it a 8v or 16v
First thing I noticed - I miss my HF :(
@@vipertransportandtowing682 8
Back in the early 60's my neighbor bought one he like you was a very tall 6-5 and he really loved then he moved back to Illinois some place . happy trails .
I did not expect to watch this video and see Hoovie buy such an icon. Genuinely one of my favourite videos of the year. Easiest and best deal for a long time.
I was a mechanic in 1965 working on these in England, loved every minute of it.
My dad had a bugeye when I was a kid, and I thought it was the coolest thing ever. I remember going for rides on the Blue Ridge Parkway, it certainly isn't a rocketship but is impressively nimble on a twisty back road and will certainly make you smile
NICE!!!! i live 10 minutes from the blue ridge parkway in north carolina
@@michaelmatar5807 I live 15 mins from it in va
This episode was real fun man!! Tyler was like a child playing with his toys.....and I would pick that bug eye over that Porsche too!! I Mean come on it has a happy face and everything 😆
Good buy This is a car that should stay in the Hoovie fleet. You can enjoy it AND it will continue to appreciate.
I’ve watched for years. This is one of my favorite episodes. Actual joy from a car that was not plastered on your wall as a kid. 👍🏻
