Austin Healey Sprite MKI, 1958

Original Dutch, matching numbers Frogeye of 1958. It is the early type, the one with the 9 stud soft top attachment on the windshield frame. The car was built in 1958 and first hit the road in 1959. The car has been fully restored in the past and was owned by the previous owner for over 11 years. The car is still in excellent condition and very well maintained by a Healey specialist near here. The paint job on this Sprite is absolutely stunning, incredibly glossy paint and tight seams. The car has had anti rust treatment in the past, you are still benefiting from that. Not a speck of rust can be found on this Frogeye. The car is equipped with the original 948 engine that was completely rebuilt at the time. The gearbox was also rebuilt at the time and functions great, no creaks, just smooth shifting. There are 2 SU carburetors fitted which are in perfect condition, the sport air filters fitted provide better flow and a bit more power. A Kenlowe auxiliary cooling fin with thermoswitch provides some extra cooling on hot days. The interior was made as original as possible, a nice original red carpet set , a black vinyl hood and a black vinyl tonneau cover were fitted, both still in excellent condition. The car has black vinyl sidescreens, almost like new. The seats and trim panels are fitted in red with white piping as originally belongs in an Old English White Healey. A wood sport steering wheel is a desirable and sporty upgrade. The car is very well maintained and technically in very good condition, a turnkey example. The car is on original steel wheels, with the chrome hubcaps with AH logo, rare these days. Export papers, to make registration in another country easy, are always included in our price. We can arrange transportation at a fair rate. You can't find a better one for this price, just go and try to find an original Dutch Frogeye, especially in this condition? Who will be the first for this Frog?
