AI Listing Summary

This 1968 Austin-Healey Sprite, a "nice usable example," has undergone a late 1990s restoration and an early 1990s engine rebuild, boasting wire wheels in excellent condition and a well-maintained interior.
While the "British Racing Green" paint presents well with only minor blemishes, and the mechanics are reported as sound with good handling, potential buyers should note the presence of age-related marks on the glass and trim, and a past repaint.

Well known for its simplicity and fun driving experience, the Austin Healey Sprite was developed by the Austin Motor Company in partnership with the Donald Healey Motor Company.

It was designed to offer affordable, open-top motoring with genuine driver appeal.

Powered by a 1275cc engine, this low-weight machine delivers lively performance and nimble handling.

The Mark III introduced more comfort features, such as wind-up windows, though the cabin remained basic and driver-focused.

Owned for almost 8 years, Alan has enjoyed the Sprite but, by his own admission, hasn’t used it as much as he would have liked.
