I'm listing this Sprite for an elderly friend who's unable to present an online ad, plus fears being taken advantage of online.
Car has clean California title which we have in hand.
This Austin is a Sacramento car, period. It has seen but two Families since new, and comes with many records and a full repair manual.
Car lovers will take note that this car sports the old black Cali tags. If buyer is a resident DMV transfers these to YOU & they stay on car.
Engine was rebuilt 8 years ago, minimal mileage has been added since. Has been in climate controlled storage mostly.
Michelin ZX4's like new. Spare tire in tact. Speedometer, Tachometer, lights, turn signals, wipers function! Original sliding side windows!
Has not had a radio in it's life, but you can change that. All of us know some ideal tunes to be heard comin' outta this car.
Local Ferrari mechanic has been kind enough to JUST LAST WEEK install the following new;
All wheel cylinders, brake pads, emergency brake cable, master cylinder, axle seals, fuel gauge.
Top in wonderful condition save one small tear by an eyelet. Only rust we can locate on car is few bubbles, which are displayed in photo.
Top and spare access rear via passenger seat, and really one can't see either one back there the way it's designed. If rain/cold comes, jerk top out!
These sporting Sprites with their funky headlights are from Austin Motors heyday, when they acquired Belgian Coachbuilder Vanden Plas.
In case you're wondering about future parts, they're here near Santa Barbara at www.mossmotors.com. All parts available & shipped nationwide.
A Moss Catalog of British car parts will be included with this sale. Some folks like a luggage rack or wire wheels, and these need to be proper
to preserve full value in a precious car like this.
We thank you for viewing our ad, and best of luck bidding on this central California, two owner car.
This car is located near Monterey, California.
