New Austin-Healey Big Healey & Sprite Catalogues

Posted: Thursday, 22 January 2026 @ 13:58

The reference books every Healey and Midget garage should have

Restoring an Austin-Healey, whether that is a Big Healey or a Sprite, is rarely slowed down by enthusiasm. It is slowed down by uncertainty. Which part is this, how does it fit, and am I ordering the right thing?

And if you run an MG Midget, you are very much in the same boat, because so many of the parts and assemblies are shared.

That is exactly why we have produced our new Big Healey Parts Catalogue and Sprite & MG Midget Parts Catalogue. They are designed to be used during real restoration work, kept open on the bench, and trusted when accuracy matters.

What you will find inside the new catalogues

Coverage for Austin-Healey Big Healey models and Austin-Healey Sprites (Frogeye to Mk4), plus MG Midget Mk1–Mk3 equivalents
Thousands of part numbers organised logically by vehicle system
Clear exploded diagrams showing assemblies and component relationships
Indexed references to help identify individual parts accurately
Structured layouts designed for workshop and restoration use

These are not catalogues written to impress. They are written to help you get the job done properly.

Designed to reduce guesswork and save time

Both catalogues are organised by vehicle system rather than forcing you to jump around. Brakes sit with brakes. Suspension stays with suspension. Engines are broken down logically by specification and application.

Alongside the parts listings, the catalogues also include technical reference information, including:

Model specifications
Torque settings
Capacities and service data

For home restorers, that means fewer incorrect orders and fewer pauses mid-job. For professional workshops, it means faster identification and clearer conversations with customers.

Either way, it keeps projects moving forward, which is usually the hard part.

Big Healey and Sprite/Midget coverage explained

The Big Healey catalogue provides comprehensive reference coverage for the larger Austin-Healey models, making it ideal for long-term restorations, ongoing maintenance, and professional workshop use.

The Sprite & MG Midget catalogue covers:

Austin-Healey Sprite Mk1 (Frogeye/Bugeye)
Austin-Healey Sprite Mk2, Mk3 and Mk4
MG Midget Mk1, Mk2 and Mk3

Sprite owners remain firmly within the Austin-Healey family, while MG Midget owners benefit from the close mechanical relationship between the cars. The catalogue reflects this clearly, making it easier to identify shared components and understand where specifications differ.

Many customers tell us these catalogues quickly become the most-used reference in their garage or office. Usually with a few oily fingerprints added along the way.
