Description
The Austin Healey Sprite was launched in the late 1950s with the aim of creating a fun, affordable roadster for a wide audience. The result was a compact two-seater sports car that went on sale in 1958. Four versions (from MK I to MK IV) were offered, the first being the most original, thanks to its striking looks that were different from those of subsequent versions. This Austin Healey Sprite MKI was soon nicknamed Frogye, and it's easy to guess why this model was so called. This Austin Healey Sprite MKI was produced in 1960 and initially delivered in the United States. In 1997, the car arrived in the Netherlands (freight bill present) and subsequently benefited from a complete and professional body restoration. The result is a brand new Austin Healey Frogey in perfect condition, with a magnificent Old English White colour combination and red leather interior. Rarely has a classic car been so perfectly restored. Of course, the engine block and gearbox have also been completely overhauled during the restoration, and the bodywork is in exceptional new condition. The elegant Old English White (the original colour) offers a deep, intense shine, while the paintwork is of exceptional quality. The body parts fit together perfectly and the doors open and close perfectly. The chrome and trim are also in mint condition and shine beautifully. The rubber and seals are in perfect condition. It goes without saying that the soft top is also in mint condition. The interior is breathtakingly beautiful. The intense red blends harmoniously with the exterior colour. During the restoration, the interior was completely refurbished and the red leather seats are in perfect condition, robust and comfortable. The door panels, dashboard and floor coverings are brand new. The chrome and trim are also in brilliant new condition. The beautiful Smiths gauges are brand new and work perfectly. The wooden steering wheel is not only brand new, but also blends in perfectly with the interior. Under the bonnet, everything looks immaculate and well maintained. The engine compartment is in perfect condition, and the 948cc engine block, expertly overhauled, sounds pleasant and smooth. This Austin Healey Frogey drives like a dream. The brakes are firm and solid, and gear changes are equally smooth. This classic roadster, elegant and compact, is not only beautiful to look at, but also fun to drive. And in this exceptional, mint condition, this Frogey is all the more attractive. Visit our website: - details above. For a visit, please make an appointment.
