Price: US $1,900.00
1959 Austin Healey Bugeye Sprite. I have no history on the car, but it appears to have been used for racing at some point in it's life. The interior has no trim, and the windshield and top have been removed. There are four small plaques on the dash indicating 1964 Thompson Regional Races / New England Region / SCCA. If anyone has any information on the car I would be happy to hear about it. The car is very rusty, particularly the hood and the floors under the seats. However, the doors open and close well. The seat frames are also pretty rusty. Has some neat features: oil cooler mounted in front of the radiator with an auxiliary cooling fan, hood hold-down belt, flip forward hood, roll bar. The front tires appear to be old racing tires, the rears are modern tires. The mileage is unknown and I have not tried to start the car nor have I tested any of the systems. Therefore, please assume that everything on the car will need rebuilding or repair. The car does roll, but has no brakes. VIN plate is in place and I have a clear title. There are no other parts or spares included. I would love to keep this car, but then again, I would love to keep every old car. The fact is I just don't have the time to deal with this car right now. I've been thinning my collection for the past six months and have had some great, well informed buyers.
I highly recommend potential buyers come and see the car in person.
Although there is a Buy-it-Now price, there is also a Make an Offer option. So if you believe my price is out of line or simply want to try and get the best deal possible, please feel free to make me an offer. I'm a reasonable person and I don't offend easily.
I will help in facilitating pick-up/shipping of the car. However, all shipping arrangements and costs are the responsibility of the buyer.
**Deposit is due within 48 hours of purchase. If the deposit is not paid within the allotted time, the sale will be cancelled.
