Vehicle Description
This 1958 Austin Healey Bugeye Sprite Mark I is an open two-seater
roadster, and makes for one great little sports car. Completed at
the Austin-Healey Works on June 30, 1958, the Bugeye was dispatched
for the U.S. market on July 4th of that year, and in recent times
was comprehensively restored by Austin-Healey professionals. During
the comprehensive restoration, the engine was upgraded to a 1275cc
unit mated to a 5-speed gearbox. The car's red interior was
recently re-trimmed in its correct British spec materials. The car
exhibits many nice details throughout, including dual horns, a
heater control switch, signal lenses for the dash and is
accompanied by the owner's manual, toolkit, and British Heritage
Trust Certificate verifying the authenticity of the car. The Bugeye
includes the All-Weather equipment option, which includes a black
Tonneau cover. This Sprite is exceptionally fun to drive and
handles superbly with increased horsepower from the upgraded engine
and transmission coupled with increased stopping power from disc
brakes.
