Lot 018: 1959 AUSTIN-HEALEY 'FROGEYE' SPRITE

Fine Historic Motor Cars and Motorcycles, H&H Sales Limited (21st September 2005)

1959 AUSTIN-HEALEY 'FROGEYE' SPRITE
Finished in dark green with black vinyl upholstery piped in white, this particular example has apparently been upgraded at some stage with a larger 1098cc A-series unit (a popular performance modification in period). Highly presentable save for a couple of minor blemishes to its paintwork, it benefits from both a Motolita steering wheel and detachable hardtop. Riding on smart wire wheels, it is offered for sale with MOT certificate valid until August 2nd 2006 and historic class (free) road tax until July 2006. PLEASE NOTE: We apologise but this vehicle has been withdrawn from the sale.
