Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1970 Austin-Healey Sprite in Bronze Yellow is a well-maintained classic with a comprehensive history file, noted for its good presentation and recent expenditure. While generally in very good condition with a few minor paint imperfections, it offers a solid entry into classic British sports car ownership.

Condition
7
The car is described as 'superbly presented' and 'a stunning example' with 'exceptionally comprehensive and well documented history file' and 'significant recent expenditure'. The paintwork 'retains a deep, rich gloss' and the interior is 'equally inviting, clean and well-preserved'. There are two small areas of paint bubbling mentioned, one to the rear of the nearside outer sill and another on the driver’s side front wing. These are described as 'minor blemishes' that 'do little to detract from the overall presentation'. This aligns with the 'Very Good' (7) rating criteria which allows for 'slight wear visible in paint' and 'one or two small dents or curb marks may be present but are not prominent', requiring 'minor reconditioning'.

First registered in May 1971, this delightful Austin Healey Sprite has clearly lived a life of careful enjoyment, passing through the custodianship of just seven devoted keepers.
Such limited ownership over more than five decades speaks volumes, and it is immediately evident that this example has been cherished, respected, and enthusiastically maintained throughout its life.
Visually, the Sprite strikes a wonderfully engaging presence.
Sitting proudly on Minilite-style alloy wheels, it boasts a purposeful yet unmistakably period-correct stance that perfectly complements its sporting character.
It invites admiration, whether parked at a show or enjoyed on the open road, embodying the timeless charm that makes these British classics so beloved.
The accompanying history file is nothing short of exceptional and adds tremendous depth to the story.
Included is the V5C, along with detailed handwritten notes from previous keepers that offer a fascinating insight into its past.
