Finished in cherry red with cream leather trim, piped in red with full red carpeting, complemented by a colour coded tonneau cover with cream hood. UK supplied, original rhd vehicle MOT and tax exempt. Only 3 careful owners in its 59year lifetime. Purchased new in Sidcup in 1960 and sold to the second owner in 1968. The second owner, due to advancing years, sold it to the third owner in February 2018.
During the second ownership, the vehicle was garaged from 1981 to 2001 then totally restored in its original colour scheme. The chassis and registration number are matching 248 ALC. This valuable registration number is being sold with the car. 45000 miles warranted mileage is supported by correspondence from previous keepers and old Mots. However, the car has covered only 3000 miles since the restoration. Restoration includes a stainless-steel sports exhaust fitted and fitted with a new gold seal 998cc engine with unleaded conversion and 11/ 8” carburettors.

This is a beautiful, Austin-Healey Frogeye Sprite 998cc Mark I with steel bonnet and original features and fittings. Fully restored to a particularly high standard with low ownership and warranted low mileage.
A rare creature indeed! £16995
