1959 Austin Healey Bug Eye Sprite

Vehicle Info

 This 1959 Austin Healey Bug Eye Sprite spent most of the last 25 years as a race car.  When I bought it, there was not an undented panel on the body.  The driver must have really liked hugging guard rails and rubbing up against other cars as she was very bruised.  It is pretty much a stock power train with 948 CC 4 cylinder engine and the original 4 speed transmission including no synchromesh in first.  The mods include a roll bar which was well done and full race seat belts.  It is a fun car to drive and corners like it is riding on rails.  The engine has high torque and though never much of a race car it was pretty decent as a rally car and for hill climbs and such.
