What is a 1966 Austin-Healey Sprite 1275 worth today?
The Shifty Estimate is $1,400. That sits below the $5,900 median of actual sales because the estimate weights the most recent results most heavily, and recent sales have come in under the longer-run median. We rate confidence low: 6 public sales in a year is not enough to be firm, and the honest range is wide. Treat it as a starting point, not a valuation.

About the 1966 Austin-Healey Sprite 1275
The final evolution of the Sprite story, the 1275 variant represented a significant step up in performance and sophistication. The larger 1,275cc A-Series engine bumped power to 65 horsepower, dropping 0-60 times to a more respectable 13.6 seconds while maintaining the Sprite's legendary handling balance. Built during the height of British Leyland's ownership, these later Sprites featured improved build quality and creature comforts compared to earlier models. With just 22,793 produced over five years at Abingdon, the 1275 is considerably rarer than the Bugeye. The squared-off styling may lack the original's quirky charm, but the improved performance and refinement make it an excellent driver's choice. Today's collectors appreciate the 1275 as the most practical Sprite variant, offering the best compromise between classic character and modern usability for weekend touring.
