1963' Austin Healey Sprite Mk2 1098cc Rare
For Sale is my 1963 Austin Healey Sprite. I bought the car with a friend and have started to get it restored but now run out of funds. The Car is the very rare Mk2 with the fully removable roof and side screens with sliding Perspex.
This is a very genuine old Sprite with 2-Owners from new and a low 63. 00 miles. It's been stood since 1991 in a dry garage. The Car has an interesting registration 5330LG valued at £1200 by an online valuation team.
The Engine:The Legendary A-Series 1098cc Engine starts instantly and runs great. We have fitted a fully reconditioned Cylinder head at great cost [Over £400]Whilst the head was off it had Unleaded valve seats fitted. new valve guides and a light Skim. The pistons and cylinder bores are original low mileage with next to no wear. New Copper head gasket. manifold gaskets and head nuts.
The Bodywork:The car looks very pretty and is actually surprisingly very solid underneath. I have found a small hole in the boot which is the only welding I can see. The Paintwork is not the best. it's full of tiny micro blisters. looks okay from 6ft but would recommend a full spray [The car deserves it!]New front wings have been fitted at some point. very solid. New rear quarter on drivers side not perfect. Floors are solid. front castle sections very good. all usual Midget/Sprite places look okay. The Bonnet has rusted on the front lip but we have a very good replacement to go with the car.
The Interior:The car's interior is very clean-Dark blue vinyl seats with white piping. The dash is also trimmed in the same vinyl and all seems to look clean and great. There has been a fair amount of money spent on new seats I presume as they look like new. All the gauges are original and seem to work fine. All electrics seem to work. Headlights. Sidelights. Indicators. Wipers. Starter.
Overall:Overall the car will require a very light restoration. It currently starts and drives but the brakes will require attention as will the clutch hydraulics [Working but stiff]It's a very nice presentable low miles car with 2 owners from new. V5C present. 63. 00 miles believed to be genuine. As with any car that has been stood for this length of time It's best to give it a full check over yourself. you will find faults that I have not.

looking for a decent sidescreen car, could be interested in this: bodyshell must be decent though, would you by any chance have a hardtop that suits? whereabouts are you located please? I'm Highlands & Islands so I'd need to get a pal to visit. thanks
