Description of 1960 Austin Healey Sprite |
I am offering my 1960 Austin Healy "bugeye"Sprite VIN AN 5L / 14580 and engine 9C-U-H 14708 for sale . The full restoration of the car to a high standard was completed approximately 6 years ago by the previous owner. He purchased the car in 2007 from his sister who bought it new. I have a Virginia title in their father's name dated from 1963. It has around 35,514 original miles. I have owned the car for 4 years and driven it very little. It is a beautiful car that is in excellent running condition. I have other interests and I'm reluctantly selling it. Body There has been no crash damage. The paintwork is excellent. There are a few small paint touch ups on the door edges (less that 4). There are occasional prep issues that do not detract. The panel gaps are consistent with the factory standards. The panels are straight and flat. The floors and rockers have been replaced correctly. It has a new top that fits well. It also has new side curtains. The top frame is original. It has Michelin X tires that have low miles. The windshield dates to at least 1963 as noted by the vintage sticker. There is a wiper scratch on the passenger side. I have not tried to polish it out. Drivetrain Interior General This is a low mileage bugeye that has been restored and detailed to a very high standard but it is not perfect. It is a high quality driver that you should not hesitate to use and have fun. The Old English ivory was the original color. It also had a red interior originally. It is ready to be driven and enjoyed. There aren't many bugeyes that are better than this one. I have posted 140 photos on Photo Bucket. Contact me for the link. Terms of the sale I will provide a good Kansas antique title Car must be picked up at my house within 3 weeks after close of the auction. Ask any question and I will do my best to answer honestly and to the limits of my knowledge. My Ebay feedback supports this. I want this car to go to a good home and I want the buyer to be happy with the purchase. I have many photos and I am willing to take more if needed. It will be available for inspection by appointment during the auction. To be clear, he car is sold without guarantee written or implied just as it was when I bought the car. With the information and photos, ou will have significantly more information than I did. The reserve is less than the amount invested. Thanks for your interest. |
