Description
1960 Frogeye Sprite race car. 1380cc, weber carb, fast and well sorted.
Includes hard top, all ancillaries to switch to roadgoing, plus large quantity of spares and a variety of diffs.
Race ready.
The car currently has aluminium doors and GRP bonnet. All other panels are steel, and the original steel doors are included (but not the original steel bonnet).
Converted to competition specification in 2011 by Joe Mackrell, a well known Healey specialist and racer who regularly shared the car at speed hill-climb events with current owner. Fully eligible for Healeysport General and Sprite Championships.
Currently not practical for road use, given the small capacity sprint fuel tank and cut down racing windscreen. However, the original screen, wipers, regular fuel tank etc are all included in sale.
In present ownership since 2019 with personal best times: Shelsley Walsh 38 secs, Prescott 55 secs, Loton Park 65 secs, Harewood 71 secs. Fantastic little car with amazing handling, perfect for entry level classic motorsport.
Reconfigured to current specification 2011.
