1959 Austin Healey Frogeye Sprite in Leaf Green restored in the early 2000s and fitted with a 1275cc engine with tubular exhaust manifold and full stainless steel exhaust. This car is a LHD conversion which remarkably has stayed rot free and the keen eye can see the originality of the floor panels. Subject of a bare metal respray in 2010 including a new steel bonnet. Uprated tuned 1275 engine with twin 1. 25 inch SU carbs +40 thou pistons with KMD Fast Road cam. Lumenition Electronic ignition.
Frontline Developments supplied adjustable telescopic dampers front and rear and also a type 9 5 speed Sierra gearbox conversion which gives a slick change and much quieter effortless cruising at motorway speeds. Front discs, a servo and antiroll bar complete the dynamics.
New sliding windows, tonneau and as new roof and white hardtop complete the picture. Large history file since early 2000s.
Once you have driven a sensibly uprated car such as this retaining the original "Frogeye" looks you won't want the standard car with its rather limited performance. Car must be driven to be fully appreciated.
