GOT STRESS???
You don’t
need Prozac or the Zoloft…… you need
SPRITE!
Nothing
relieves stress like a top down, wind in
the face drive on a winding road in an Austin Healey Sprite.
Sprites are
like the world’s biggest “Slot car”…They handle great, are light and nimble. They
can put a smile on your face the moment you start them up and nothing unties
the knots in your colon like driving a classic British Sports car.
The Sprite
offered here has been gone through completely in order to be certain that it
relieves stress rather than causing it.
The most
important thing about this car is that we started with a rust free, accident
free car and built from there.
Starting up front, we replaced the troublesome SU carbs with a brand new Weber 36dgv downdraft 2 barrel.
This provides easier starting, better throttle response and overall smoother
acceleration.
One of the
main concerns with older British sports cars is the wiring.
All of the
Sprites wiring harnesses have been replaced, along with the fuse box and
voltage regulator. The engine has less than 500 miles on a complete overhaul.
To make the
car stop as well as it goes, all of the hydraulics have been gone through. New
brake and clutch master cylinder, new clutch slave cylinder, new rear brake
cylinders, rebuilt front calipers, new pads and shoes.
The fuel
system is also new. New tank, new sending unit, new fuel lines.
On the
inside we installed new carpet and a new panel kit.
To enhance
the handling at the rear, a sway bar and panhard rod for improved rear end
control have been installed.
On the
outside, the pictures show the stages of primer and paint. The body was shot in
HI build Primer and block sanded to provide a smooth flat surface to apply the
top coat to. The new paint is 2K urethane in “Viper Red”. The finish has been
color sanded in multiple stages and polished to a mirror like finish. The white
center stripe, front and rear bumperettes and custom aluminum wheels complete
the “Mini Cobra” look that sets this Sprite apart from the crowd.
Price
includes a new top and top frame. This Sprite is ready to go for years of
summer driving fun.
