AI Listing Summary
This 1960 Austin Healey Frogeye Sprite is a rust-free Californian import that has just completed a major mechanical and electrical restoration, with minimal mileage since. It benefits from a recent MOT for reassurance and has a comprehensive history file including a Heritage Certificate.
Condition
8
The car is described as a 1960 Californian rust-free import that has undergone a major mechanical/electrical restoration with only 100 miles since rebuild. It has a current MOT for peace of mind and has been subtly upgraded with disc brakes, refurbished suspension, and a rebuilt engine and gearbox. While the paintwork is described as 'good', there are 'odd chips here and there', suggesting it is not pristine but still in excellent condition given the extensive restoration.
