Austin Healey Sprite 1961

Description

Finished in Jaguar Opalescent grey metallic with a red interior, this is a 1961 Austin Healey Sprite MK2. It was fully restored from 2020 to 2023 utilising a genuine UK 1959 Frogeye bodyshell, which is all steel with a fibreglass bonnet. Sills, floor pans, rear bulkhead, boot floor, front footwell panels were all replaced, and the original rear shroud and rear wings were fitted with repair panels butt welded in so there are no overlapping welds. A-pillars were replaced with new hinge panels, and the doors needed minimal repairs. The bucket seats were re trimmed in red to match the dashboard and carpets, and 3 point red harnesses added for the finishing touch. Sidescreens have been rebuilt with new Perspex and rubber seals. The gearbox is a rebuilt ribcase 1275 unit, fitted with the modified front oil seal plate. Rear axle is a 4.22 unit, with new brake shoes, hoses and silicone fluid. The clutch and slave cylinder were also renewed. The engine is a 1275cc unit bored +60 with Omega pistons, 731 camshaft, new bearings, vernier timing gear, gas flowed high compression cylinder head, gas flowed carburettors and inlet manifold and a Maniflow exhaust manifold.The hood has been replaced and the car is fitted with minilite replica alloys, LED indicators and halogen headlamps. The suspension system has been fully rebuilt using Polybushes, and the car is fitted with an uprated front anti-roll bar.The car looks fantastic and drives superbly. There is a full photographic record of the restoration available.

Dedicated to the supply of sports and classic motor cars, we hold a small but carefully selected stock of vehicles. Mostly our stock comprises Mazda MX5 sports cars, for several reasons. They are statistically one of the most reliable cars on the road today, with a reputation second to none. They are very well engineered, from the engine to the simple hood mechanism. Residual values are rock solid, and have been for many years now. They are also extremely attractive vehicles, and most importantly they are just great fun. I truly believe that everyone at some stage in their life should own an MX5, because if you do not you are seriously missing out. But don`t take my word for it, come down for a test drive and I guarantee it will make you smile!

If you cannot find what you want, we always have other vehicles available to us that we do not have room to hold in stock. For specific requirements, telephone us or email [Email address removed.
