Austin Healey Sprite Mk2 1963 1098cc - Rare Car for sale

Current customer rating: current rating for this car(2.15) based on 65 votes
Here we have an opportunity to purchase an Austin Healey Sprite Mk2 1963 1098cc. Mk2 rare model with handle less doors. I've owned the car since June 2015. I purchased the car from an old chap, intending to complete the car and have a professional respray to create a concours show car as it is such a brilliant solid car. 

The old chap had done a great job of all the tin work - as you can see in the photos the floor, engine bay and boot are all absolutely immaculate, it has all been restored to a very high standard. He did respray the car himself which does let it down a bit and is certainly not to a show standard, really it would benefit from a professional respray to create a special car given the body work is so good.

The car comes with its original registration '123 YKJ' which was valued at £2,000 many years ago so no doubt this has increased considerably since then.

The car is complete (other than hood and side screens as I chucked these out as it looked like the mice had got to them in storage) and would be an easy project to create a stunning car, unfortunately I do not have the time due to other projects to get this car completed. The only bits required are carpets and door cards, everything else is there. As you can see in the photos, the seats have been retrimmed in black leather with green piping which look brilliant in reality. The bumpers have been professionally re-chromed. Some of the bits I've bought/done since owning it:

-  New radiator and heater matrix

- Original wheels refurbished with new tyres and high quality chrome hub caps.

- New chrome screen pillars and glazing rubber ready for screen to be refitted.

- New quality pressed aluminium plates

- New chrome boot handle

- New chrome number plate light

The car is in Coventry and will need to be collected. We had the car out about a year ago and got it running, the engine was very sweet. It has not been run since. It needs a new master cylinder - all the parts are really easy to get hold of online. Any parts I've bought have been from A H Spares.

There is quite a bit of paperwork with the car including a drivers hand book as well as some nice photos of the car which were provided for an insurance valuation back in 1994.

Please let me know if you have any queries.

Many Thanks.
