Trained as a tool maker in the aerospace industry, Terry Horler has a keen interest in all things of an engineering nature. His first Austin-Healey Sprite, a 1959 MkI, was bought from a work colleague in 1969. After considerable repair work, it was sold just nine months later – an action that was soon regretted. The next Sprite came along in 1976, followed by several other Sprites and Midgets. He still owns and drives a 1960 Sprite purchased in 1979, and a 1968 Sprite MkIV purchased in 1984. Together with a colleague, Terry formed the Midget and Sprite Club in 1983, when these cars were at their lowest ebb. Since then, Terry has been a technical consultant for the club, written many articles for the club magazine, formed the Sprite and Midget register, and helped owners with a wide variety of problems. Terry is now the club’s technical documentation officer, dealing with valuations, DVLA re-registration applications, and general technical advice. Terry’s first book, Original Sprite and Midget, was published in 1994, and his Midget & Sprite Essential Buyer’s Guide in 2011.
