Morgantown, PA
Description:
1960 Austin Healey Sprite It's not terribly fast. The brakes are nothing special. The seatshave very little padding, and there are no roll-up windows. Thetrunk is so hard to get to that one reviewer suggested that the jobbe left to a trained monkey. The very short list of standard'amenities doesn't even include a heater. An overly harsh assessmentof the Austin-Healey Sprite? Well then... What we've left out, ofcourse, is the "and yet" part, and here it is: "But what it is, isan irresistible, inviting package that from its 'bugeyes' andperpetually smiling grille to the unmistakable, raspy exhaust soundbegs to be driven-seeming to say, 'Let's go out and have somefun." Barn find condition is the best way to sum up this Bug Eyed Spritefrom 1960 and right out of jolly old England. Invasive rust has hadits way with this mighty little Brit on all fronts, and in thiswriter's opinion this damage has categorized this sporty ride intothe parts car category. Please Note: NO TITLE-SOLD ON A BILL OF SALE ONLY* ExteriorA true Bug Eye version with its bullet style headlights mountedinto the hood, and just below its perpetual smiling front grille,this is a very desirable version from Austin Healey that has seenbetter days. A silver dollar if you will, the paint is marred,touched up, faded and overall the body is presenting with invasiverust on all panels. The door glass is missing, and the smallwindshield has some wiper scars but is clean and clear otherwise.The bumpers have been removed and at least 1 residing in theinterior. The top is gone and only 1 of the support bows ispresent. Simple steel 13-inch wheels are on all 4 corners, andthese are missing their covers. InteriorPeering inside we see a bevy of parts scattered throughout theinterior. Moving inside a single black and green bomber stylebucket with tuck and roll buckets with white piping sit snuglywithin the driver compartment. Heavy wear and tearing is noted onthis seat and is in need of a full redux. All traces of carpetingare gone and we note metal signage used as patching for the steel.Within the hump in the center is a small straight shift leverstanding proud. Upfront is the original dash with its originalJaeger gauges and knobs and pulls. DrivetrainUnderneath the rear hinged hood is an original 948cc 43hp enginewith 2 SU H1 side draft carbs. On the back is a 4-speed manualtransmission, connected to a 4.22 rear axle. UndercarriageWhile unable to be removed from its transport pallet to beinspected on our lift, we note heavy rusting as seen from theinterior flooring or lack thereof. Invasive rust has taken over theframing and has progressed to the point the rear suspension hasrotted away from its mounting point. Drum brakes are noted allaround and suspension wise, it's an independent front suspensionwith coil springs and a leaf spring set up in the rear. Drive-AbilityObviously not drivable, but we were informed that this engine doesindeed run well, or did run well at the time of its arrival to ourHallowed Halls Rust has eaten away at this very popular little sports car leavingthe potential buyer with a decision to make. A massive undertakingof a restoration, or an apt and suitable parts car to help otherHealys live on.
