Designed by Geoffrey Healey and built at the MG factory in Abingdon alongside the MGA, its defining feature was entirely accidental: the planned pop-up headlamps proved too expensive to produce, so the lights were fixed in a raised position instead, giving the car its irresistible frog-eyed expression and the nickname that has stuck for sixty-five years. Americans called it the Bugeye. Either way, it became one of the most instantly recognisable and universally loved shapes in British motoring history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThis vintage poster mug pairs the Frogeye's cheerful character with a sun-drenched coastal scene and the tagline that sums up exactly what owning one felt like — \"Life's a Beach!\" Original illustrated artwork, full-wrap glossy print, built for daily use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe ideal gift for Frogeye and Bugeye Sprite owners, Austin-Healey enthusiasts, Abingdon devotees, and anyone whose idea of a perfect day involves a winding coastal road and a car with a face.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003ePairs perfectly with the Belchampian Austin-Healey 3000 mug and t-shirt — available in the Vintage British Motoring collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eCelebrates the Austin-Healey Sprite Mk1 Frogeye\/Bugeye — launched Geneva 1958, built at Abingdon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eOriginal vintage poster artwork — \"Life's a Beach!\" coastal scene design\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003e11oz white ceramic, glossy full-wrap print, dishwasher and microwave safe — a classic British car gift\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eProduct features\u003cbr\u003e- Glossy full-wrap color finish for vibrant artwork\u003cbr\u003e- Dishwasher-safe — tested for 3,000 cycles\u003cbr\u003e- Microwave-safe for reheating drinks\u003cbr\u003e- Durable white ceramic, 11oz (0.33 L) capacity\u003cbr\u003e- Comfortable C-shaped easy-grip handle\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCare instructions\u003cbr\u003e- Clean in dishwasher or wash by hand with warm water and dish soap\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable id=\"size-guide\" style=\"min-width: 360px;\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding: 10px;\"\u003e \u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"color: #000000; font-weight: 500; text-align: left; font-size: 15px; padding: 10px;\"\u003e11oz\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; color: #525252; font-size: 15px; border-top: 1px solid #ededed; word-break: break-word;\"\u003eHeight, in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; color: #525252; font-size: 15px; border-top: 1px solid #ededed; word-break: break-word;\"\u003e3.74\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; color: #525252; font-size: 15px; border-top: 1px solid #ededed; word-break: break-word;\"\u003eDiameter, in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; color: #525252; font-size: 15px; border-top: 1px solid #ededed; word-break: break-word;\"\u003e3.15\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEU representative\u003c\/strong\u003e: HONSON VENTURES LIMITED, gpsr@honsonventures.com, 3, Gnaftis House flat 102, Limassol, Mesa Geitonia, 4003, CY\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct information\u003c\/strong\u003e: Generic brand, 2 year warranty in EU and Northern Ireland as per Directive 1999\/44\/EC\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare instructions\u003c\/strong\u003e: Clean in dishwasher or wash by hand with warm water and dish soap\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Printify","offers":[{"title":"11oz \/ White \/ Glossy","offer_id":53178307281239,"sku":"29604374101515439623","price":13.4,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0951\/9844\/5911\/files\/3832805531360929066_2048.jpg?v=1775054759","url":"https:\/\/belchampianapparelco.com\/products\/austin-healey-sprite-lifes-a-beach-vintage-poster-coffee-mug","provider":"Belchampian Apparel Co.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
