Vehicle Description

This 1961 Austin-Healey "Bugeye" Sprite MKI has been with the seller for nine years and was reportedly mechanically overhauled by David Silberkleit of Bugeyeguy.com. It is powered by a 948cc A-Series inline-four engine backed by a four-speed manual transmission. Features include SU carburetors, rack-and-pinion steering, bucket seats, and several new parts. Finished in silver and equipped with a black convertible top over a red vinyl interior, this Austin-Healey is available now and comes with a cockpit tonneau cover. Rust-free exterior was refinished in metallic silver under previous ownership.

The bucket seats and dashboard are upholstered in red vinyl. Features include manual steering and brakes, a floor-mounted manual transmission shifter, and a three-spoke Moto-Lita aluminum steering wheel with a wood rim. A 100-mph speedometer, a 6K-rpm tachometer, and gauges for the fuel level, oil pressure, and water temperature are located ahead of the driver. Power is provided by a 948cc A-Series inline-four and backed by a rebuilt four-speed manual gearbox. The seller states that the oil was changed in the summer of 2022 and that a new clutch, radiator, and electric fuel pump have been installed. This Austin-Healey is equipped with a refurbished suspension. Braking is provided by manual front discs and rear drums. A single exhaust system exits at the rear through a pair of outlets. New parts include the brake master cylinder, springs, and shocks.
