Vehicle Detail

What started life as a nice Austin Healy Sprite MarkII has been converted to a full tube chassis race car ( instead of weak unibody) From the list below you can see alot of money was spent to get it to be one of the best driving autocross or Vintage race cars ever. The great thing about it is, its sorted out,handles great. looks great buts not brand new and $25K. Seems like eveything runs and stops as it should, its waaaay faster than a stock Austin Healey with the heavily modified engine, throw in the light weight removable body and its just a larger version of a go kart. It's setup for one driver, but a passenger seat could be installed. Also I spoke to the painter and if you wanted to paint it say black or red with a cool uinion jack flag, I can get that done for not a lot of money. The decals are all removable too by the way.Check out the video on the street, really cool, I wish I had time to use it, hope you can, everyone loves this car when they see it. Upgrades to the Healey: 1275 cc fully built motor w/ aluminum head and twin SU carbs with headlight ram air frsh intake (50% more power ) Free flow header exhaust ( sounds great ) Ribcase heavy duty 4 speed close ratio transmission Fast ratio rack and pinion steering Disc brakes with triple master cylinder setup Fluid delivery plumbed with Braided hoses with AN fittings Aluminum radiator with dual electric fans Fuel cell with dual electric fuel pumps Remote oil filter with Braided lines Minator alloys with Hoosier slicks ( Oldest wheel maker in the UK ) Dixieanna fabricated race seat Stewart Warner gauges with shift light Motolita leather wrapped 3 spoke wheel Wide angle 3 panel rear view mirror ( so you can see the face of the driver you just passed in the corner! ) Fiberglass removable body with quick release hood-trunk and front end Low profile acrylic windscreen Full tube race car chassis with removable panels for easy to work on comvenience Too many other things to list, but good stuff that seems to work on this car. SEE THE VIDEO TEST RIDE !!!
