Vehicle Detail
This is a great opportunity for a restoration project! This car was given to me by my grandfather five years ago. It was driven here, however it has sat in the garage since then and is now no longer operable. My father and I were able to get the engine to turn-over but it wouldn't stay running. Unfortunately, I don't have the time or money to try and get this vehicle ready to hit the road. This beautiful car has all off its original gauges, hub caps, interior, front and rear bumpers, light covers, interior, spare tire, engine, wooden steering wheel and wood shifter knob. I have also purchased a new brand new battery. Since this vehicle has been in the garage it has suffered very little body damage. I also have two manuals for the car that you can have. I do have a clean title for this car and the pink slip as well. Please don't hesitate to ask any and all questions, I will gladly answer to the best of my knowledge. I also have no problem sending more photos or scheduling a time for you to come and check out the car. Good luck bidding on this unique chance to turn some heads! ||| Winner of the auction must arrange for pick up. ||| ||| I reserve the right to end the auction at any time. ||| Here's a little history on this model and make: Austin-Healey was a British sports car maker. The marque was established through a joint venture arrangement, set up in 1952 between Leonard Lord of the Austin division of the British Motor Company (BMC) and Donald Healey, a renowned automotive engineer and designer. Austin-Healey produced cars until 1972 when the 20-year agreement between Healey and Austin came to an end. The Austin-Healey Sprite was produced from 1958 through 1971 with 129,347 examples of the two-door, low-cost, open roadster being produced. The second series, the Mark II, was produced from 1961 through 1965. The 948 cc engine continued to power the car until 1964, with an optional 1098 cc A-series engine coming available in 1962 and lasting until 1964. The 1098 cc engine produced nearly 60 horsepower and had the same bore and stroke as the Morris Minor 1000. Front disc brakes were fitted on vehicles with the larger engine. Wire wheels were optional equipment. The lights were the largest change with the rear headlights sharing the same design as the soon to be produced MGB. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Austin-Healey http://www.conceptcarz.com/vehicle/z13707/Austin-Healey-Sprite-MKII.aspx
