This is an extremely rare opportunity to acquire a very early Austin Healey 1958 MK1 Frogeye Sprite.  
It is a very rare pre October 1958 build specification with 9 stud windscreen and welded gussets to rear inner wheel arches and one of the first 2000 made. As the Heritage Certificate shows our Austin Healey Mk 1 Sprite was built in Abbingdon in 1958 and the chassis number AN5L 1948 tells us it was built for the export market. Like most of these early Sprites it was destined for the USA.  
It was repatriated in June 1997 and appeared in the April 1998 issue of The Classic Motor Monthly magazine showing a photo of the car with its details while on sale at the Vintage and Classics annual MG Show. It was restored over the next 10 years and converted to RHD and we have photos of the restoration.  
The original 948cc engine has been converted to run on unleaded fuel and is fitted with the correct 1 1/8" twin SU carburettors. The gearbox was reconditioned by Heathrow Transmissions (BMC specialist) 2 years ago. when we also fitted a new clutch.
For reliability we have fitted electronic ignition. an electric fuel pump and the cooling system is filled with Evans waterless coolant. The car comes complete with hood. side windows and tonneau cover.
This Frog has to be seen to be appreciated & comes with lots of history & receipts.
We are asking £17. 95 OVNO for it.  Any questions or if you would like to view. please give us a call on 07753660715.
