1960 Austin-Healey 'Frogeye' Sprite
Sold for £9,562
(including buyers premium)
Registration No: 416 NPG
Chassis No: AN5/32231
Mot Expiry: May 2014
Extensively restored by its previous keeper, `416 NPG' was treated to an engine overhaul (unleaded cylinder head, larger 1.25in SU carburettors, sports camshaft) and replacement Hardy Engineering gearbox (complete with uprated synchromesh) during 2000. Entrusted to Frogeye specialist The Ennion Workshop for a £4,500 bodywork refurbishment some three years later (new steel bonnet, clutch, carpet set, sills etc), the two-seater also benefited from a new radiator and front shock absorbers before entering the current ownership in 2007. Described by the vendor as being in "excellent" condition with regard to its engine, gearbox, electrical equipment, interior trim, bodywork and paintwork, this delightful Frogeye is offered for sale with BMIHT certificate, buff logbook, extensive history covering the last 19,000 miles (1999-present) and MOT certificate valid until May 2014.
