Description
Let’s step back in time with this beautifully preserved 1958 Austin Healey Frogeye Sprite, a true British Sports Car Legend & Classic, the first of its kind !!! Finished in Brilliant Red with Red Interior, this early production model is a rare gem that always turns heads and captures hearts wherever it goes.
First Registered 30th October 1958
V5 & Heritage Certificate with agreed Value Certificate of £20, 000 plus Original Handbooks, Workshop Manual with Numerous Restoration, Servicing and Spares Receipts.
Right Hand Drive, Petrol with 4 Speed Manual Gearbox.
Travelled to the US November 1958, where Frogeye spent many happy years in the Dry Climate of California. Returned to the U. K. around 1996 for Full Professional Restoration to include;
Engine 1275cc, Front Disc Brakes, Heater, Windscreen Washers, Alarm, Radio with CD Player, New Tyres, Wire Wheels, Soft Top with Side Screens, Tonneau Cover and Full Harness Seatbelts.
Recent modifications to include, New Radiator with Cooling Fan, Electronic Ignition, Front Brake Calipers, Master Cylinder, Rear brake cylinders and Brake Shoes.

This is not just a Classic Car - it’s an Icon of British Motoring History, with its charming “Frogeye” Headlights and Spirited Driving experience. Perfect for Classic Car Shows, daily or weekend driving, or adding to your Classic Collection. Values for early Frogeye’s continue to rise, making this a great Investment.
My reason for Selling, I have owned and taken special care of my Frogeye since 2007 and have enjoyed the privilege, but it is now time for a New Owner to own and cherish this fabulous Classic.
