Part 2



The gentlemen later retired from racing, took up woodworking, then passed
away. Daniel became aware of the cars and parts, and purchased them. He
reassembled the car, replacing any necessary parts, such as any old
bushings, etc. It has a stainless exhaust on it. It has a new fuel tank.
Upholsteryseats and side panels are original, and in great shape. It needs
a carpet set. The original paint has patina it shines after a buffing,
shows some scratches and minor dents from its time in the basement.



The stock 1098 in this car runs smoother than any Sprite Ive owned, and as
many of you know, Ive owned a considerable amount. It does not leak any
appreciable amount of oil, which is astonishing. The transmission shifts
cleaner up and down the pattern better than any gearbox in any Sprite Ive
driven. I average about 42mpg in combined city and highway driving. I would
not hesitate to climb in this car and drive across the country.



Ill be taking serious offers on this car, cash or Paypal.  I wont be in
the mood for tire kickers or time wasters. Pictures are available

Ill also get the car on the lift and get some additional shots to
demonstrate how clean it is underneath and engine compartment is. Ill be
putting the car up for auction on Ebay in the next few days. Theres a
similar car (even lower stated mileage) , coincidentally a Canadian car, in
close to similar condition on Ebay right now (however, it is in North
Vancouver, BC. Canada mine is in WI) . Id say the paint looks a little
nicer on that car, but without looking at it personally, or driving it, I
cannot say for sure. That car is at $6100, reserve not met, with 3 = days
left on the auction.



Email me privately to discuss your interest in my car.
