Up for auction is my rare 1961Austin Healey "Bugeye" Sprite. I have owned this car since 1970.1961 was the 4th year for the "Bugeye" and is veryrare and highly sought after. Thisisa numbers matching car with its original 948 cc enginewith smooth case transmission which makes her that more rare and sought after. She is a project car but with her heritage and rarity she is well worth the time and effort. The car is selling this week to the highest bidder and is priced way, way, waybelow current market value.If you know vintage British cars you know how rare this car is and you know she is priced to sell. Mechanically:The car was running fineup until time that the restoration was begun. Engine does spin freely and with everything put back in place I believe she should start with not much work.
