Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This classic car features a 1098cc A-series Austin Healey Sprite engine, enhanced braking, and subtle modern upgrades like a USB port. While the body presents well with newer paint and some replaced panels, the interior is largely original, needing a small repair to the driver's seat.
Condition
6
The car has been upgraded to make it more suitable for modern traffic while preserving its period character. The bodywork remains sound, with more recently applied paint that presents well aside from a few minor blemishes. The front wings and boot lid were also replaced during this period. The interior remains original and in excellent condition, save for a parted seam on the driver’s seat. Some reconditioning is required.

Description
Description Benefiting from a 1098cc A-series Austin Healey Sprite engine and gearbox with an unleaded cylinder head; later 9-inch Wolseley drum brakes and servo assistance; larger S.U. carburettor This car has been in private ownership since 2004.
The previous owner had kept it in very good original condition, and the current vendor has since carried out sympathetic upgrades to make it more suitable for modern traffic while preserving its period character.
It is now fitted with a 1098cc A-series Austin Healey Sprite engine and gearbox with an unleaded cylinder head, as well as a slightly larger S.U. carburettor.
The braking system has been enhanced with later 9-inch Wolseley drum brakes, servo assistance, and a revised 3.9-ratio differential.
Wider Morris van wheels, an anti-roll bar, and a discreet USB charging port have also been added.
At purchase, the odometer showed 30,000 miles (the original unit, now in the boot, was replaced with one showing similar mileage).
