Ed, I found your name in the AH Club of Southern Ontario listing. There
are no AH clubs in the Ottawa area, but I wonder if AH users in your area
might be interested in our car. We purchased a 1969 Austin Healey Sprite Mark
IV four years ago for our son to fix up and drive. My son and his friend
always planned to bring this 35 year old sports car back into street
condition, but have abandoned the project and moved on to other things. We'd
like our garage back! Here are some particulars about the car:
Vehicle Identification Number: HAN9U77591G
Its 1275 cc 4 cylinder high compression engine was running smoothly when
purchased four years ago. It has not been started since. The transmission
appears intact, but is in an unknown condition as the car cannot be driven due
to unsafe brakes and tires. The car has 5 wire wheels (spare included). The
body is in poor condition: the floor pan is badly rusted and the fenders and
hood show old, cracking epoxy body work; the convertible top's fabric and
mechanism (presently removed) are in quite good condition; the seats (also
removed) are not bad. some mouse damage underneath one. The registration
lists the original body colour as red. Now medium green, the car was probably
repainted when the old bodywork was done. Dashboard instruments are all
present. The odometer reads 51,415 miles.
We were told that the car had been sitting for about 13 years in the
Quebec barn from which we purchased it a little over four years ago. The car
has been mounted on floor stands in our garage for the last four years. We
obviously cannot warrant the car's condition, fitness or suitability in any
part, for any use, but it may be of interest in whole or as a source of parts
to AH drivers.
If you or members of your club are interested, please let me know and I
will be glad to invite any of you to our home in Ottawa where it can be
examined.
