Austin Healey Sprite (1959)
for sale

Price: US $8,500.00

Description:

I bought this car back in 1998 and finished restoration in 1999. It was a started resto project and the car had all new floor pans, rocker panels and rear quarters welded on and the whole thing was dipped. My goal was to build this car into a reliable “driver” while keeping with an A-series engine. When I put this car together, every part was sandblasted and epoxy painted. In addition a stiffener plate was welded to the front of the frame to add additional rigidity for the front sway bar. Below is a list of improvements:
1275 A series built by Pat Morrison (builds nascar engines now) rebuilt ported head- hotter cam
5-speed Datsun 210 gearbox conversion only 3k miles on it
Custom One wire Alternator
Hotter sport ignition coil
Original magnesium made in England Cosmic racing rims-brought over from England
390 rear end gears
Carrera racing gas shock conversion on front and rear
Front Sway bar
Rebuilt front suspension and steering
Stiffer aftermarket front coil springs
Weber two barrel downdraft carb
Electric fuel pump
Tubular exhaust header
New Electronic distributor with correct advance curve for tuned engine.
2015- new brake master cylinder, hoses, all new brake pads and springs.
Top is in good shape and so are side curtains
Custom leather seat covers
Roll Bar
12, 039 miles on odometer since restoration
Lots and lots of spare parts as seen in the pictures
I have shown in the pics the few spots of bubble rust, but overall the body is in great shape, and has always been stored indoors since the previous owner owned it. The car drives and runs great and any serious buyers can test drive it since it has a valid NYS registration and inspection. The opening price is the reserve price.
