What is your favourite car of all time?

By 1960, Sprite Mk I sales were slackening and BMC decided that an update was required. Concurrently with the Mk2 Sprite, an MG version was to be introduced, mechanically identical with only the trim, badging and decoration distinguishing the two cars. The new vehicle was more conventional in style now having an opening boot and a bonnet separated from the fixed front wings. The 948cc engine was improved to produce 46.5bhp and the gearbox now featured the previously optional close-ratio gear set as standard. October 1962 saw significant improvements to both models with the introduction of front disc brakes and a 1098cc engine producing 55bhp.
