1958 Austin Healey Sebring (Sprinzel) Sprite.
This car was built for Historical racing by myself in 2007/ 08 as an Archers replica.
Since I wanted to race the car by the European Historical Regulations, it had to be converted to aluminum bodywork. This body conversion and other technical adjustments were carried out in the years 2011 - 2013. The car got its first FIA HTP year 2013. I have been racing the car occasionally in historical races in Norway and Sweden from 2013 - 2023.
The car has never had a breakdown or been in any accident.
Got a new FIA HTP in the year 2018, valid end December 2028.
Lots of spares, needs 4 new tyres. then ready to race.
