Here is a 1961 Austin Healy Bugeye Sprite. This has been my wife's car for 4 or 5 years. It's a great little car. She loves it but we need the money for some other things. We got it from a town in California 350+ miles from our house here. We drove it home and it got 45 mpg when traveling about 50 mph. I don't know much about how they are when original but this one has an electric fuel pump so it starts right up after sitting for months as long as the battery is up. It has an auxiliary fan in addition to the one on the motor. I'm told they originally had two carbs which were problematic. This one has been updated to just one carb and we've never had any problems. It runs great but drips a little oil when running (I'm told they all do). There are no dents. The paint in places is starting to "spider web" but looks great from a little distance. The interior is good, the top is good, the tonneau cover is good, the side curtains are good, the tires are good. We've driven it maybe a couple of thousand miles and have had no trouble with it. We hope the new owner takes good care of it. Any questions call Ron 928-303-3707 or write through eBay. There will be no reserve on this car. Good luck bidding.
