And lucky for you, this particular bugeye is in superb condition. I mean, truly superb. We’ve found a spectacular specimen – painted in the classy and eye-catching original color of Iris Blue, this car is in excellent condition overall. More than just a daily-driver, this bugeye exemplifies a level of class and long-term care that’s hard to come by in these cars. The motor has recently been rebuilt and broken in, so you’ll get all the benefits of a new motor with none of the uncertainty from those first 100 miles. This sprite boasts a rip-case transmission, a new carpet, and comes with a brand new top – still in the box! And because we want you to enjoy this car without any shadow of a doubt, we’re pleased to offer you this car with a whole assortment of new and improved items, including: new tires and newly upgraded rear shocks; new brake drums, shoes and lines; new wheel cylinders and a new master cylinder, new adjustable trailing arms in rear, and a brand new gas tank accompanied by a new sender and brass drain plug installed in the tank. Moreover, we can boast that this car has new front wheel bearings, a new electronic distributor, and has been converted from generator to alternator. But the new things don’t end there – we’re also proud to offer: a brand new Radiator and radiator hoses as well as a new water pump, thermostat, auxilary radiator fan, new plugs with wires, a new remilled head with new valves, and new spring seals and bronze/magnesium guides (12G295 Head). Phew! Well, clearly this car has everything you can think of – every little piece has been replaced or upgraded, true to the standard we expect from the top-notch vehicles of the Healey brand. So if you’re looking for a quirky car that in truly stellar condition – this Bugeye Sprite is the vehicle for you.
