1959 Austin Healey Sprite (59 Iris Blue/mustard)

Price: US $17,000.00 SOLD OUT

We took our time and cut no corners.  All parts were either replaced new or refurbished.  The parts came from all over, including Australia, England, Canada and coast to coast in the U.S.  We stripped it totally down, had it tank dipped (too many small areas for media blast to get caught in) and had the frame professionally straightened. We restored it to as close to original with a few exceptions. The fuel pump is electric, the transmission is the improved ribcase, and the horn is not an original.  Patch panels were used where needed. There is no rust in this car.  An all new period correct wiring harness is installed. The paint is four coats of 1959 Bugeye Iris Blue with three coats of clear on top.  The door seams and bonnet seams are probably better than when they left the factory.  All receipts will go with the car.  I have a new front bumper that will go with the car. We prefer the looks of it without the bumper.   Everything works, although the tach seems to show the rpms a bit high. We acquired a completely rebuilt 948cc engine and it runs great.  It draws a crowd whenever it is out and about.  What a fun car to drive! Someone asked, "does it drip any oil" The answer is "Yes." If it didn't, it would not be British.  Those of you who know the British cars understand.  It is not bad.  Shipping is not included in the price, but we will assist with any shipper.   The way the women flock around this cute little car is amazing. Us old guys needed this car 50 years. Now it is very funny to watch us get in and out of it.
