1959 Austin Healey Sprite, British Racing Green with later 1275 cc engine, rebuilt Datsun 5 speed transmission, modern tube shocks, mini-lite style wheels, Moto-Lita steering wheel, 2 point vintage style seat belts, removable racing graphics, new tires, new battery, Pertronix electronic ignition, K&N air filters, front disc brakes, etc. The windshield was replaced by a chopped version and a removable headrest faring added to give it a vintage racer appearance. Front hinges on bonnet installed to ease access to the engine. The full size stock windshield, new top, side curtains and tonneau are included. Very dependable, fun-to-drive car that gets more attention than most vehicles that are exponentially more expensive. Does not have a heater, and it leaks a bit of oil as, it seems, all British cars do. Also, has some very minor surface rust which hasn't gotten any worse since I first obtained the car. Have had this car for several years and I've had a great time with it, but now is time to go. If you bought a decent 1959 Sprite and made all the improvements, upgrades, and alterations as are on this one,
