Description
For Sale is my 1959 Austin Healey Frogeye Sprite to either restore or just drive around for fun! I had this car for 4 years, during this time I have been fixing the brakes, carbs and some other bits, and just driving it around from time to time. I sell it because I need the space as I have other project cars, and I am a large person and I can’t really fit well in it! So I never found the motivation to restore it.
Some details:
- Steel body and steel original bonnet with new bonnet struts.
- Positive earth with dynamo, battery charging works well.
- Drum brakes all round (new rear brake cylinders).
- 13" wheels.
- Original number plate XCD908
- Starts, idles, drives and brakes perfectly fine.
- Rear diff swap from a Riley 1. 5, giving longer gears.
- It comes with black soft top, windows (and 1 spare window), and a roll cage.
- At some point a previous owner had her sprayed red, although the V5 still says black.
- The engine was swapped a few years ago to an Austin 1275cc with twin Stromberg Carburettors.
- There is no rust in the underbody, it has some metal patches on the wheel arches and underbody which I wish the previous owner would have done with more care, and it has some areas in the body panels with rust but, nothing structural and can be easily repaired.
- MOT and Tax exempt.
- 2 previous owners.
You are more than welcome to come and have a look at it, if the weather is nice we could go for a drive.
Thanks!
