This 1966 Austin-Healey Sprite is affectionately known as the
"Frogeye" in the UK and the "Bugeye" in the US,
because its headlights were prominently mounted on top of the bonnet

Agree with everyone that says this shot is outstanding -- it is.
Have a fond spot in my heart for these cars, having lived in the UK.
