Here is for sale my 1960 Austin Healey Frogeye Sprite. I brought this as a project that had spent some time in a garage after the owner stopped using it and passed away. The car has had lots of  work done to get in back into running condition. It has had a new distributor with electronic ignition, a new duplex timing chain instead of the worn simplex set up, oil and filter change, new plugs and leads. Lots of other smaller things too.  Most of the brightwork has been changed as the old ones had become pitted and rusty. It has new hubcaps, headlamp bezels and bumperettes. The car is now looking very smart. It not perfect however, as someone has obviously stored some items whilst it was in the garage on the bonnet and boot lid. This has left some light scratches that I have tried to show on the photographs. I have also welded a small crack in the bonnet. Unfortunately the paint match is not correct and needs respraying to make perfect. These marks do make it a car that you can use without worrying about anyone damaging the paint whilst you are parked up.The engine (948cc) is running sweetly and goes well. The gearbox works as it should. It does crunch into second gear when coming down the box. I'm not sure if these had syncros on 2nd or not.I have limited history with the car, there is a collection of old mots and tax discs, some photographs for agreed valuation insurance purposes and recent invoices.The interior has some wear but is presentable.Spares are readily available for these cars.Overall this is a car you can enjoy as is, or if you wish, attend to the paintwork and make perfect. I have just been out for a 1 hour drive in the Peak District in the car and have had lots of appreciative comments.The registration is transferable if you mot the car. (Car is mot exempt)Viewing in Macclesfield Cheshire. Payment by bank transfer please.Please only bid if you are serious about buying.The reserve is £10k, until the reserve is met you will be able to make offers.I would keep this car but I have other classics and ideally need the space.
