OVERVIEW
This 1959 Austin-Healey Bugeye Sprite received fresh paint, a new interior, and engine and transmission rebuilds as part of a restoration completed in 2020. It is powered by an upgraded 1,275cc I4 backed by a four-speed manual transmission. Features include an AM/FM radio, rebuilt carburetors, and disc brakes. Finished in black over a black vinyl interior, this Austin-Healey comes with a new cabin tonneau cover and a clear title in the name of the seller's LLC. The seller notes the car does not have a soft top.
EXTERIOR – FEATURES
During the restoration process, the body was stripped and refinished in black (code 122). The seller states that in January 2024, the reportedly rust-free exterior was touched up, wet-sanded, and polished. Features include a removed front bumper, a tilt-forward bonnet built by The MG Shop in Tempe, Arizona, a chrome grille, a bright windshield frame, and chrome rear bumpers.
EXTERIOR - WHEELS AND TIRES
A set of 13-inch gray wire wheels is wrapped in 155R13 and 155/80R13 radial tires that were installed in February 2020.
INTERIOR – FEATURES
The cabin was furnished with new black vinyl bucket seats, new black door cards, new black carpeting, and a new black dashboard as part of the restoration. Features include manual steering, a floor-mounted manual transmission shifter, and an AM/FM radio.
INTERIOR – GAUGES
A 100-mph speedometer, a 6,000-rpm tachometer, and gauges for the fuel level, oil pressure, and coolant temperature are located ahead of the driver. The odometer reads 62,213 miles, which the seller reports to be accurate.
ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION
Power is provided by a rebuilt 1,275cc I4 and backed by a rebuilt four-speed manual transmission. The seller states that in January 2024, all fluids were replaced, new spark plugs and an electric fuel pump were installed, and the carburetors were rebuilt.
UNDERCARRIAGE
This Austin-Healey was factory-equipped with an independent front suspension and a solid rear drive axle. Braking is provided by manual discs. A single exhaust system exits at the rear.
ADDITIONAL DETAILS
A new black cabin tonneau cover will come with the purchase of the car.
