Description Non running; 21 years of ownership; 3 former keepers; restoration project; 2x gearboxes and what looks like to be the original engine come with the sale of the car
First registered in November 1959, this Austin-Healey Frogeye Sprite is offered as a restoration project and presents an exciting opportunity for the enthusiast looking for a worthwhile project.
Showing just three former keepers from new, the car has been in the current owner's possession since December 2005.

The car is currently a non-runner and will require restoration, but its desirable Frogeye styling and early production date make it an appealing basis for a variety of projects.
Accompanying the car are two gearboxes and what appears to be the original 948cc engine, providing useful parts for the restoration.
Unfortunately, there is no history accompanying the vehicle.
