Sold by Vintage Car Radio, this kit combines premium quality, straightforward installation, and a timeless aesthetic that perfectly suits the Sprite's vintage appeal.
The Austin Healey Sprite—from the delightful Bugeye models of 1958-1961 to the refined Mk IV through 1971—delivers pure, lightweight driving pleasure with its nimble handling and open-air freedom. While original equipment often included basic lap belts or none,
this Seatbelt Planet kit upgrades to a full 3-point retractable lap and shoulder system, providing superior occupant protection for today's roads and enthusiastic drives.
The highlight is the all-metal push button buckle, crafted for durability and a premium feel. Its robust chrome-plated construction offers a satisfying, secure click with a large, easy-to-press button—making fastening quick and intuitive in the compact cockpit.
This design evokes classic aircraft-style hardware while delivering reliable performance that withstands daily use.
High-grade polyester webbing resists wear, UV fading, and stretching, available in colors to match or complement your interior. The retractors ensure belts stay neat and tangle-free, automatically adjusting for a comfortable, snug fit without slack. Mounting
is Sprite-specific and user-friendly: retractors bolt to the rear bulkhead or wheel arches with included hardware, requiring minimal modifications for a clean, professional result.
Safety standards are rigorously met, complying with FMVSS 209 and 302 for proven crash protection far exceeding vintage setups. The 3-point configuration keeps the upper body restrained, reducing injury risk during sudden stops or spirited cornering—ideal for
a car as fun to push as the Sprite.
Visually, the kit integrates beautifully. The all-metal buckle's polished finish and slim profile maintain the car's period-correct look, avoiding any modern bulkiness that could disrupt the minimalist cabin.
Enthusiasts value how these belts enhance confidence without compromising the driving experience—smooth retraction, no chafing on shoulders, and easy access for top-down adventures. Priced affordably through Vintage Car Radio, it offers outstanding value: enhanced safety, vintage styling, and peace of mind.
Whether restoring a concours Sprite or enjoying weekend tours, this Seatbelt Planet kit from Vintage Car Radio is a smart, reliable choice. It honors the car's heritage while prioritizing protection—ensuring every mile is safer and more enjoyable.
