Austin Healy Sprite 1970

An honest and charming example of the desirable 1275cc Austin-Healey Sprite Mk IV. This car was legally imported from the UK in 2005 and is fully registered on Irish ZV plates. The car was dry-stored in a garage for 17 years and has recently been refreshed to get it back on the road. It starts on the button and drives with that classic "go-kart" feel these Sprites are famous for. Key Features & Recent Work: • Engine: Desirable 1275cc A-Series (the best performer of the range). • Ignition: Upgraded to Electronic Ignition for reliable starting in Irish weather. • Wheels/Tyres: Correct 60-spoke wire wheels fitted with 4 new tyres. • New Battery: Just fitted this month. • Interior: Very good condition featuring a beautiful Moto-Lita wood-rim steering wheel and period-correct dash. • Soft Top: Good condition, weather-tight, and presents very well. • Safety: brand new headrests added. Condition Note: This is an honest, usable classic with "patina." While the car presents beautifully (as seen in photos), there are signs of minor bubbling on the lower sills and door edges. The chrome bumpers show some pitting consistent with age. It is a perfect "rolling restoration"—ready to be driven and enjoyed immediately while being improved over time. Included Spares: The sale includes a spare 1275cc engine block and the original factory steering wheel, providing excellent value and future-proofing for the next owner.
