Austin Healey Sprite (1960)
for sale

Price: US $2,000.00

Description:

This is a 1960 Austin Healey Sprite (Bugeye or Frogeye) that has been upgraded with a 1098cc engine, SU-HS2 carbs, a header, and front disc brakes. The paint and interior is excellent as well as the removable hardtop. The convertible top frame is restored but the fabric and side curtains are original. The top has a small hole in it on the passenger side.
I had the car on the dyno last week to check the tuning and to see how the upgrades compare to a stock Sprite. This car has a 37% gain in horsepower over original and has a nice sound to it under power but is not louder than stock at idle.
All the lights, heater and guages work, but the tach is little flacky. The radiator was rebuilt and new water pump, new starter cable, all the brake lights, rear sprite emblem, and turn signals are new, as is the rear view mirror. The horn does not work. You can see in the pictures the car has the side curtains and soft top. The soft top does have a tear in the right rear, good enough if you get caught in the rain but I would get a new one if you think you will often see bad weather.
