1969 Austin Healey Sprite for sale.
OK, here's the story. As usual, I am just driving around minding my
own business and I stopped by my mechanic's place because there was a
sprite there, and he is the only one that works on the brit cars, I
asked. Turns out, the previous owner Mr P is the original owner from
new. He put 65,000 miles on the car and put it up on blocks 10 years ago
when the weather got cold. It didn't start up the first time in the
spring, so he has done nothing to it since. It has been in dry storage
since. He had it towed to the shop on a whim to see how much it would
cost to have it restored. The figure given was not in his budget (his
budget of a couple of hundred bucks..I mean..what was he thinking??) so
he asked if anyone wanted to buy it....well, in walks Kevin..and now
this great little car is mine. One catch....I am moving...so I need to
sell ASAP. So here is the nitty gritty: The car is red, original paint,
VIN HAN77172G. This places it as a 69 model. I am an MGA guy, so bear
with me. The interior was replaced right before storage,it has tonneau,
half tonneau, all bits like the jack, spare, tools, tonneau bows, etc.
Rust: lower driver's fender, repaired with filler. Floors solid, still
body color underneath, all regular rust areas (I have dismantled many
midgets for parts, so I know where they rust)are rust free (sills,
behind seats, etc)Car is in great original condition. Engine...have not
tried to start yet..Have title(original), and owners handbook. A great
little car that could be a nice driver with a little effort. I am
working on pics. Email me for lots more details$1200
