This 1959 Austin-Healey Bugeye Sprite was acquired by the seller in 2014 and was subsequently refurbished and modified. Work reportedly consisted of media blasting and rust repair, a repaint in white, an interior refresh, and overhauls of the suspension and brakes. The car is powered by a replacement 1,275cc inline-four paired with a four-speed manual transmission, and equipment includes front disc brakes, 13″ steel wheels with chrome center caps, a front-hinged hood, rear bumperettes, and a black tonneau cover.
The car has been repainted in white, and the seller states that prep work included media blasting the body and replacing the floor pans, rocker panels, battery tray, windshield cowl, firewall, and door panels. Features include a full tonneau cover, a front-hinged hood, and rear bumperettes.
Steel 13″ wheels are finished in silver with branded chrome hubcaps and wear 155/80 Kumho Solus tires showing 2019 date codes. The front suspension has been aligned and the following items have been replaced:
- Brake master cylinder
- Front brake rotors, calipers, and pads
- Front wheel bearings
- Rear brake cylinders and shoes
- Brake lines and hoses
- Front and rear shock absorbers
The cockpit is trimmed in red vinyl with a matching dashboard and door trim. The seller states that the interior has been reupholstered save for the seats and that work included replacing the wiring harness, switchgear, and carpets.
The two-spoke steering wheel frames a replacement GPS-enabled speedometer, a refurbished tachometer, and gauges for fuel level, coolant temperature, and oil pressure. The digital odometer shows 184 miles.
The 1,275cc inline-four is said to have been sourced from a 1967 Austin-Healey and features dual SU carburetors. The seller states that the carburetors and cylinder head have been rebuilt, the radiator has been refurbished, and the following items have been replaced:
- Fuel pump
- Battery
- Voltage regulator and fuse block
- Ignition coil
- Starter solenoid
The seller states that the four-speed manual transmission was rebuilt during the refurbishment and that the clutch assembly, driveshaft U-joints, and gas tank were replaced at that time.
