This 1960 Austin-Healey Sprite is said to have spent at least 40 years in Pennsylvania and was reportedly the subject of a 1990s refurbishment that included installation of a replacement 1,275cc inline-four as well as a repaint in white and reupholstery of the interior in black. The car features a four-speed manual transmission, 13″ steel wheels with chrome hubcaps, a tonneau cover, a Blaupunkt cassette stereo, front disc brakes, and fender mirrors. Service performed over the last year is said to have included replacement of the brake master cylinder, rear wheel cylinders, and radiator.
The car is said to have been repainted in its current white sometime between 1992-1995. Equipment includes fender-mounted bullet mirrors, rear bumperettes, a black soft top, and a matching tonneau cover. The front bumper has been removed.
Painted 13″ steel wheels wear chrome hubcaps and new Firestone F-560 tires. Braking is from front discs and rear drums. Service in the last year reportedly included replacement of the brake master and rear wheel cylinders.
The cockpit features bucket seats upholstered in black vinyl with white piping as well as matching door trim and carpets. Equipment includes lap belts for both occupants, a chrome passenger grab handle, storage pockets in the doors, and a Blaupunkt cassette stereo.
Smiths instrumentation consists of a 100-mph speedometer and a tachometer as well as gauges for fuel level, oil pressure, and coolant temperature. The five-digit odometer shows 15k miles.
The 1,275cc inline-four was installed under previous ownership and features twin SU carburetors. A new radiator with an electric cooling fan was installed within the last year, while an oil change was performed in preparation for the sale.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission, which intermittently pops out of reverse gear.
