Both the Sprite and Oldsmotron are constructed from 18 gauge (.040) metal.

 Ride Drive - Austin Healey Sprite
Instead of having a separate chassis, as had been the case since the beginning of car design, this one was to be of a monocoque construction where the body was to perform the role of the chassis as an all-in-one unit.
In 1963 the Midget and Sprite were both fitted with the larger 1098cc variant of the trusty BMC ‘A’ Series engine, as were other users of the power unit in the BMC range, such as the Morris Minor 1000 and Austin A40.
Towards the end of 1971, sales of the Sprite were confined only to the home market, and the name, Austin-Healey quietly disappeared from the Leyland showrooms, leaving only the MG version to soldier on.
