NFI, just one of my searches found this...

1959 Bugeye Sprite, Austin Healey. Completely apart for rotisserie
restoration. Excellent candidate for original restoration (very little rust
on good body and frame/ have original 948 cc engine/smoothcase
transmission/rearend 4.11) or modified to performance 1100cc or 1275cc
engine/ ribcase transmission/ 3.9 rearend . Original front metal bonnet was
restored two summers ago,is in primer, and is in excellent condition. Body
is very solid/very little rust, is mostly down to bare metal/ no bondo...
you see exactly the condition it is in presently in, has some body work to
do in the driver's rearward side (dent needs to be popped out and restored,
not difficult), has excellent sills, floor has some pinholes( could keep it
or replace as desired), doors are excellent, frame is excellent has a new
battery tray to install, new windshield glass, new stainless exhaust pipe,
you can restore with original 1959 front brake system or NOS front disc
brakes/rotors/ and calipers for a 1969 , New high quality cloth complete
wiring harness. Some very hard to find NOS parts included. Needs new
interior, convertible top (I have the hardware) , toneau cover. Original
metal seats are present but need full restoration(paint/foam/covers). Metal
dash is original without any non factory holes/cutouts, no radio hole... a
very rare finding. Heater control knob/apparatus is NOS (new old
stock)...now unobtainable! Guages are included and can be restored also.
Rotisserie setup is included in price . Only one engine/transmission/rearend
of choice is included in the price. Optional engines may be purchased for
$500.00 each. I also have some optional Weber sidedraft carburetor setups
available for added performance.Any options I have can be bolted on without
altering body. Optional parts may be purchased as desired. I have owned this
car for almost 9 years. I have decided to discontinue my old car hobby. I
will not compromise on price, bugeye sprites as solid as this one are very
rare indeed!. I accept cash only, no trades or scammers. Dr. Hunter
