Sprite & Midget Right Hand Front Wing | to Dec 1968

This right-hand front wing is made for Austin Healey Sprite MK2-MK4 and MG Midget models up to the December 1968 body breakpoint. It is intended for restoring or repairing the right front wing area where the original panel is corroded, damaged, heavily filled or missing.

The panel is handed, so this version is for the right-hand side of the car only. For a matching left-hand panel, order the corresponding left-hand front wing.

Right-hand front wing for the correct pre-Dec 1968 shell

• Right-hand outer front wing panel for Sprite and MG Midget body repairs
• Suitable for Austin Healey Sprite MK2, MK3 and MK4 models up to HAN9-77590
• Also suitable for MG Midget MK1, MK2 and MK3 models up to GAN4-66225
• Useful when replacing corrosion, accident damage or previous poor panel repairs
• Helps maintain the correct front wing arrangement for cars built before the December 1968 body change

Vehicle application and production breakpoint

• Austin Healey Sprite MK2
• Austin Healey Sprite MK3
• Austin Healey Sprite MK4 up to HAN9-77590, December 1968
• MG Midget MK1
• MG Midget MK2
• MG Midget MK3 up to GAN4-66225, December 1968

This panel is not for later Sprite or MG Midget body shells after these chassis breakpoints. Check the chassis number and existing panel arrangement before ordering, especially on cars with earlier repairs, replacement shells or mixed body panels.

Supplied as one right-hand panel

• Supplied as one right-hand front wing
• Left-hand wing is not included
• Paint, trim, lamps, fasteners, seals and adjacent repair panels are not included unless ordered separately
• Additional body repair sections may be required if the inner arch, A-post, sill edge or front valance area is also corroded or distorted

Body panel details worth checking before paint

This is an outer body panel for the front wing area. As with most classic Sprite and Midget bodywork, the surrounding shell condition matters just as much as the new panel. Door gaps, bonnet alignment, sill condition, A-post structure, inner wing condition and front valance alignment should all be checked before final finishing.

The broad model range makes the chassis breakpoint important. Later cars after December 1968 used a different application, so ordering by model name alone can lead to the wrong panel.

Trial fitting and installation checks

Professional bodywork fitting is recommended. Trial-fit the wing before paint or final finishing, then check the bonnet shut line, door gap, A-post edge, sill line and front panel alignment. Older shells may need local adjustment where previous repairs, corrosion or accident damage have altered the original panel positions.

Do not paint the panel before confirming its position on the car. Any necessary dressing, trimming or alignment work should be completed during trial assembly.

Why this panel is the sensible choice

The main advantage is clarity: this is the right-hand front wing for Sprite MK2-MK4 and MG Midget MK1-MK3 applications up to the December 1968 breakpoint. That matters because later Sprite and Midget body shells can look similar at a glance, but the panel application changes at the chassis break.

For owners and body shops, the key decision is simple: confirm the side, confirm the chassis number, and inspect the surrounding structure before ordering any related repair panels.
