As with any car of this age, prospective buyers are welcome to inspect the vehicle before bidding. There will naturally be areas requiring attention depending on the buyer’s intended use, but this is a genuine early Austin-Healey Sprite with an interesting Australian history, rather than a modern reproduction. A great opportunity A very appealing project for someone looking for something a little different from the usual British-market Sprite. The combination of the 1962 MkII specification, Australian provenance and surviving Australian identification plate makes this a particularly interesting car. Viewing is welcome by prior arrangement.
