MKI
BUG EYE SPRITE - 19, 382 ACTUAL MILES
THREE OWNER CLASSIC
Updates: I have contacted the second owners of this Sprite (87 & 89 years old ) for additional info and updated this listing.
Description:
All original, never restored three owner classic with only 19, 382 pampered miles. Original owner was the local Chevrolet Dealer who owned the Sprite for 1 1/2 years and drove it the first approx. 2, 000 mile. The second owner used it as her golf chauffeur taking her and the golf clubs to the golf coarse. In June of 2003 they decided to sell and I offered to list it on EBay. After detailing the car for pictures I decided to purchase it for myself. Low mileage originals are impossible to find and this was just a nice fun car to drive. The Sprite had 18, 765 miles when I purchased it and I drove it approx. 420 miles in about two years. She then rested in the garage for the next 10 years until 2015. A new battery, oil and check up was completed and the car was driven about 200 miles. I have not driven it this year.
This vehicle does not have a title. New Hampshire does not require one after it is 15 years old. I do have a current motor vehicle registration, a copy of bill of sale and can have them notarized if necessary. br>
Condition:
I have provided many photos for review. Here are a few particulars. * All original paint * All original interior * Soft top and plexi glass side windows are included. * Tonneau cover is included. ( slight 1” tear ) * The clock is not original, added on by previous owner. * It needs a new tachometer cable ( broken ). * The heater core leaks so it was removed and bypassed. ( original is included with vehicle ). * Recent replacement of starter switch. ( original is included with vehicle ). * Paint thin around gas filler, repaint from a minor dent repair. * A few paint scratches here and there. A real straight automobile. * Inside review mirror is cracked. This is one of the straightest, cleanest unrestored vehicles with low miles that you will find. If you are looking for a Bugeye Sprite this may be worth looking at. You don’t have to guess what it looked like before it was restored because it hasn’t been. It is a perfect candidate for a AACA “HPOF” judging.
