1961 Austin Healey Sprite Spider Red in 1:18 scale
This is the 1961 Austin Healey Sprite Spider Red in 1:18 scale by Cult Models.
The 1961 Austin Healey Sprite Spider was a unique, one-off racing prototype that set itself apart with its lightweight construction and aerodynamic design. Unlike the standard Sprite, this special version featured a sleek, low-slung body with a more aggressive stance, optimized for competition. Its defining feature was its open-wheel, streamlined appearance, making it resemble a purebred race car rather than a traditional roadster. Powered by a tuned version of the Sprite’s four-cylinder engine, the Spider was built for agility and speed, embodying the spirit of British motorsport. With its rarity and distinctive design, the 1961 Austin Healey Sprite Spider remains an intriguing and little-known chapter in Austin Healey’s racing history.
This model is hand painted and polished to a beautiful finish and has a sealed body. Resin models are
exceptionally accurate of scale, shape and detail. Each model is created using a variety of production
processes, to achieve this precision. They are produced using a composite material referred to in the
industry as “resin”. Photo etched parts, die-cutting, tampo printing and waterslide decals are often used
for the most authentic replication.
