Description
1971 Austin-Healey Sprite Mk IV – RHD Convertible – Part Project
* Priced to allow for the work required
Offered for sale is this 1971 Austin-Healey Sprite Mk IV, a right-hand drive example of the final generation of the much-loved Sprite range.
Recently taken in as a part exchange, this classic British roadster presents an excellent opportunity for an enthusiast looking for a rewarding project that can be enjoyed and improved over time.
The car starts, runs, and drives, however it is being sold as a part-project vehicle and will require some attention. We believe the car would benefit from a full service, and there are known issues within the electrical system, with some sections of the wiring harness likely requiring repair or replacement. In addition, the paintwork shows its age and would benefit from refurbishment to bring the car back to its full potential.
Importantly, this is not a dismantled restoration project or non-runner. It is a complete, running and driving Austin-Healey Sprite that offers the next owner the opportunity to improve and recommission the vehicle while enjoying ownership of a genuine British sports car.
The Austin-Healey Sprite remains one of the most popular and accessible classic convertibles, renowned for its simple mechanical design, lightweight construction, excellent parts availability, and engaging driving experience.
