Current customer rating: current rating for this car(2.15) based on 340 votes
A rare opportunity to purchase a full race 1959 Austin Healey "Frogeye" Sprite. The car comes with a documented racing history back to at least 1976. I that time it has never been a road car and therefore is in immaculate condition. no rust anywhere. It also sports a super rare Kellison front end and nice period touches like a Winkspeed mirror. Everything is very tidy under the bonnet. and the car was obviously run by someone who cared about doing things right. a very good indicator to the mechanical condition of the rest of the car. The last owners were a husband and wife team. she drove. he spannered.  
The last outing was only three months ago at PIR (Portland International Raceway). the logbooks also state that is has run at Riverside Raceway. Willow Springs. Palm Springs. Pacific Raceways. Bremerton Raceway. Mission Raceway Park (British Columbia). Thunder Hill. and probably most of the tracks on the West Coast of the USA and Canada over the nearly forty years the Healey has been campaigned. The lucky new owner will have the chance to add British and European tracks to the old girls tally.
Tech specs. 948cc. . 060 Powermax pistons. Head shaved . 090 o-ring block. Delong Cam. . 469 lift 306 Duration. Huffaker bronze dist gear. Twin 1 1/4 SU's. Aluminium flywheel. Ported and polished head. Panasport wheels with Yokos. The engine sounds strong and revs easily up to 8000.  
There is a comprehensive file of invoices and history. All UK taxes have been paid. It will take very little to convert this to a road/race car. and being 1959 it is MOT and Tax exempt. How good is that! However. it is being sold as a race car on a Bill of Sale. and is not road registered.
The car is in Leigh on Sea. Essex and viewing is highly recommended. Interesting part exchanges considered. please no fantasists or tyre kickers.
