1960 Austin-Healey Sprite AN5 Car Show Display Card - Scottish Festival
Handwritten car-show display card identifying a 1960 Austin Healey Sprite, its engine, and owner.
This document is a car show display placard photographed in the window of a vehicle at the United Scottish Society's Scottish Festival British Car Display. It is a preprinted form with handwritten entries identifying the displayed vehicle. The card lists the year as 1960, the model as an "AN5 Austin Healey 'Sprite'", a special feature of a "High Compression Engine", and the owners as George & Alice McIntyre. The marque field contains only a slash mark. A round United Scottish Society seal appears at the top left of the form. The placard is propped against the inside of a light-blue car's windshield or side window, with a windshield wiper visible below it and partial glass etching markings (including "0462" and "OT 497") visible at the right edge. A reader can learn from this document that the pictured car is a 1960 Austin-Healey Sprite (AN5 body/chassis designation, i.e., the 'Bugeye/Frogeye' era Sprite), that it was entered in a British car display at a Scottish festival, and who its owners were at the time. It contains no technical specifications, fuse data, wiring information, or part numbers beyond the model designation.
This document covers 1960, which may differ from this 1968 Ford Mustang.
