Summary
This 1959 Austin-Healey Bugeye Sprite was purchased by the seller six years and 300 miles ago following a refurbishment that included a larger 1,275cc four-cylinder engine and a 4-speed manual gearbox. The car received $12k of mechanical sorting in 2016, including an engine rebuild, new carbs, and new shocks, and is now described as well-sorted with recent service. The interior has been reupholstered in tan over brown carpeting, and the odometer shows 1,579 miles since being reset.
