We are excited to welcome this 1960 Austin Healey Frogeye Sprite to The Forge Prees. This home market, right-hand drive car is presented to show standard and represents a prime example of a U. K. market top-spec vehicle.
The car has undergone an extensive restoration (circa. £30k), with no expense spared by the previous owner. Since completion, it has seen minimal use and remains in outstanding condition. It is a car that truly needs nothing.
The British Motor Industry Heritage Trust Certificate confirms that this Austin Healey Sprite Mark 1 retains its original specifications. It features Chassis Number AN5/ 39792, Engine Number 9C-U-H/ 39978, and Body Number BAE/ 39556. Built as a right-hand-drive, home-market model, it was finished in Cherry Red with a Red interior and Black hood. The car was manufactured on 23rd May 1960 and dispatched to Austin Healey dealer Kennings Limited in Walsall, Staffordshire, on 27th May 1960. Factory-fitted options included a rev counter, front bumpers, a toughened glass windscreen, and a heater. The original registration mark, 568 KDH, remains proudly displayed.
Restoration highlights:
Full metal body strip, significant repairs, and respray in the original Cherry Red colour
Complete engine rebuild by a renowned Spridget race specialist, with a 'fast road' specification for the original 948cc engine and ribcase gearbox
New prop shaft and refurbished differential by Heathrow Transmissions
Powder-coated steel wheels, new tyres, and chrome hub caps
Refurbished brightwork and red interior
Motalita steering wheel and rebuilt dashboard instruments
New petrol tank, new 15-leaf rear springs, new front coil springs, and new dampers all around
Fresh brakes, brake lines, and drums
This Austin Healey will be freshly serviced, MOT'd, and comes with a 3-month warranty for peace of mind. UK delivery and export options are available. Full details will be coming soon to our website—please get in touch to arrange a viewing.
