Up for sale is this nice 1969 Austin Healey Sprite. This is the last year of the Healey Sprite. Its a 1275, 4 speed. The inside is original other than the addition of the roll bar. The original carpets are worn through but I like it. It has that British car atmosphere. The seats and panels are in good shape. There are no rips in the dash.The outside has had a few bangs and bruises, nothing major, but I do not see floor rust or trunk rust. I see some rustiness on the lower edges. I see a slight bend or just tightness in the way the hood fits. It is probably not the original hood as it does not appear to have the holes to mount the Healey emblem that should be on the front. It has been repainted.
The car has not been on the road, but it starts right up. The brakes have been cleaned and the engine serviced where needed. It has good tires and it runs and drives well but it will need some work before it is ready for the road. I’ve driven it around the neighborhood. It needs a brake light switch which is $12.00 at Moss.
The 1275 four had a bit of work before it came to me. It has a custom exhaust header and an impressive Weber carb. It has a dual point Mallory distributor and a screw on oil filter with an oil cooler. A vintage racer perhaps or just buzz the neighborhood.
I’m not much on email so if you have questions try Tim 860 819 1931.
This is a auction for a legitimate British sports legend. And it’s fun to drive too.
