Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1959 Austin Healey Frogeye Sprite, a desirable classic, underwent a comprehensive restoration in 2016. Although it runs and drives, it requires re-commissioning after being stored since 2025, impacting its potential value despite the extensive past work.
Condition
6
The car underwent a significant restoration between March-August 2016, including bodywork, engine overhaul, gearbox, brakes, interior, and paint. However, it has barely been used since 2022 and has been in storage since 2025, requiring re-commissioning. While it runs and drives, the period of disuse suggests some wear and tear, aligning with a 'Good' rating.
