Description

FOR SALE… 1960 AUSTIN HEALEY MK. 1 FROGEYE SPRITE IN CHERRY RED WITH A RECORDED MILEAGE OF 42930 MILES.

I BOUGHT THE CAR AS A NON RUNNER 5 YEARS AGO AND RELPACED MANY PARTS INCLUDING NEW SEATS AND CARPETS, NEW BRAKES ALL ROUND WITH A NEW MASTER CYLINDER. I FITTED AN ELECTRONIC IGNITION SYSTEM PLUS A NEW COIL, LEADS AND PLUGS. I FITTED A NEW SCREW ON OIL FILTER BUT I KEPT THE ORIGINAL OIL FILTER SYSTEM WHICH I WILL LEAVE FOR THE NEW OWNER.

THE OIL PRESSURE IS AS IT SHOULD BE ON TICK OVER WITH A WARM ENGINE.

THE WHEELS HAVE BEEN BLASTED AND POWDER COATED WITH NEW HUB CAPS, AND A COMPLETE DOWN TO METAL RE SPRAY USING THE CORRECT BMC PAINT NUMBER FOR CHERRY RED.

THE CAR COMES WITH A TONNEAU, SIDESCREENS (NEW PLASTICS FITTED) AND HOOD WITH FRAME AND WITH NEW REAR “WINDOW” HAND STICHED IN PLACE (NOT HEAT SEALED) TO KEEP THE CAR AS ORIGINAL AS POSSIBLE,

THE CAR HAS THE ORIGINAL STEERING WHEEL.

THE BODY WORK IS SOLID, UNDERSEALED , WITH A STEEL BONNET

I AM SELLING THE CAR BECAUSE AT 77 WITH A BACK INJURY I CAN NO LONGER GET IN AND OUT OF THE CAR, SO IT JUST SITS IN THE GARAGE LOOKING PRETTY.

ASKING PRICE £12, 950 onoI bought my first frogeye in 1968 and have had a passion for the marque ever since. This is probably the 5th or 6th frogeye that I have owned and I am sorry to say , will be my last. Long time member of the AH club. This is a great little car, just needs a new owner now.
