This was a project vehicle I purchased last summer. Unfortunately not enough room and too many other projects. The body is pretty straight and solid, no rust anywhere that I can find. The only problem I can see is a small crack at the seam in the front drivers side fender, I can send a better picture. Paint is decent I hand polished the trunk lid and it came out great so a little elbow grease and she should be a very presentable driver. Interior was redone besides the liner on the drivers door coming unglued, aftermarket stereo, original included. Trunk is good spare tire, jack all there. The top was new also but has small tear now in the corner by the front door. Side curatins weren't in properly when it was hauled home. Tires are good. I think everything is working except the speedometer and heater motor is not hooked up, horn is on the steering column underneath. Under the hood is all there as it should be. I only have had it on one short drive It steered shifted and stopped fine. It had been sitting garaged for a few years. I did get it running and tuned it up. Started right up after sitting for 7 months this June. Comression was 150 each cylinder and one was showing just over 140 Oil pressure seems good but haven't run it long enough to get hot. So the bad is it has a metallic click. Too me it sounds like it's in the drivetrain, bent pushrod or valve sticking it may have not been switched over for unleaded yet, it could also be a connecting rod. Also one of the carbs was leaking so they should be rebuilt. 4 speed 998cc motor In all it's a pretty clean original unmolested little Sprite that doesn't require a lot of work to be a nice driver for the money, car cover included. I do have the title. Thank you for looking
