Description 1959 Austin Healey Bugeye Sprite
Listed in behalf of Monte Shelton.
Located in PORTLAND, OREGON.
This 1959 Sprite just underwent a full restoration to an extremely high level. Rebuilt 1270 cc OHV 4 cylinder engine. Runs great with plenty of power. Rebuilt 4-speed manual transmission WITH FACTORY OVERDRIVE. Shifts crisply. Overdrive kicks in and out as it should. New radial tires wrap new correct Healey hubcaps. Disc brakes stop the car smooth and straight. All work was done by a Healey expert who knows what it takes to make these cars work right - and this one does. A large file of receipts document the work done.
The laser-straight, rust-free body was stripped to bare metal and repainted in correct "Ocean Blue" metallic color. Polished to a deep shine. All chrome and trim was replated to show quality. New, correct interior with leather upholstery. New soft top with crystal clear rear window. (The top has never been lowered since installation and is as-new.) Correct new Lucite sliding side window inserts. Please see photos.
It has seen only limited use since completion of the restoration. I have personally driven this car and it runs, drives and handles exceptionally well. The current owner, who was formerly the British Motor Cars dealer here in Portland for over 40 years and remembers these cars when they were new, also says this one drives better than new. Please see video.
There is little to add. If you're looking for an exceptionally restored Bugeye Sprite for Healey Club events and tours or just a fun drive in the country, this is is a great one. A reserve has been placed on this car in keeping with its quality. It could not be restored to this level for the reserve price. Please bid accordingly.
