Extensively restored Austin-Healey Sprite MK1
This 1959 Austin-Healey Sprite Mk1 Frogeye is one of the most iconic British sports cars ever built. The model owes its nickname to the characteristic headlights mounted fixed to the nose and symbolizes pure, lightweight driving pleasure. This example has been extensively restored and is in very good technical and optical condition. The original engine has been replaced by a more powerful and reconditioned 1100cc 10CC engine, fitted with a reconditioned 12G295 cylinder head. Combined with the upgraded and reconditioned ribcase gearbox, front disc brakes, and new rear driveshafts, this results in a noticeably better driving experience without compromising the original character. Approximately 10,000 kilometers have been driven since the restoration, and invoices totaling €30,000 are available, underscoring the quality and care of the work performed.
Visually, this Sprite also makes a particularly strong impression. The light blue paint combines beautifully with the sporty stripes and complements the timeless design perfectly. The steel wheels with an original appearance, sports exhaust, and correctly fitted accessories reinforce the classic look. The interior is well-maintained and stylish, featuring a fine interplay between the paintwork and the upholstery. The dashboard is equipped with three additional Smiths instruments for oil temperature, voltmeter, and clock, which is both functional and period-correct. The car comes with a soft top, tonneau cover, and hardtop, making it suitable for every season. A very complete and richly equipped Frogeye, ready for carefree driving pleasure.
