1968 Austin Healey Sprite (MG Midget)
- Thread starter Atrus
- Start date
Damn, would be fun but really not looking for a trade - trying to free up garage space. Thanks though! I can be a little flexible on price if you're still interested.
I wish, I just sank 5k in my truck fixing head gaskets and injectors so I am short on cash. If you think you may have interest in the bike, let me know.. Don't really have anything else.
Still for sale, reduced the price, added new pics to the original post. Also included the updated information below. Make me a reasonable offer!
Revised ad to reflect current staus.
Up for sale - 1968 Austin Healey Sprite. Mileage unknown. Looking for $1800, open to reasonable offers.
Car is painted - a DIY job - it's one color, but no show winner for sure. 1275cc 4 cylinder, 4 speed manual. Has bondo in the front fenders, but I have extra parts (below). Car needs carbs to be set, but I can fire it up and it will sputter and make noise to prove it does run. ALL PARTS ARE THERE TO COMPLETELY DRIVE THE CAR - this is a complete vehicle. Needs front calipers/front brake lines/front hoses installed (all included) to drive.
Suspension was totally refreshed - replaced a bad a-arm, new kingpins on both sides, new brakes, rearched rear springs, refreshed the steering rack, new poly bushings.
New parts include:
Fully rebuilt Distributor w/pertronix unit - no more points! Built by Advanced Distributors.
Brand new (never installed) rebuilt OEM calipers, rebuilt by Peter at World Wide Imports
All new rotors/drums
New rear wheel bearings
New poly bushings
Rearched/refreshed rear springs
Goodrich stainless steel brake lines (need installation)
3.90 gear installed (4.22 also comes with the car)
Silverstar sealed headlights
I also have:
Extra set of fenders (minor rust - good solid pieces to swap on)
Extra complete set of good condition doors (glass, door panels, hardware)
Extra Windshield and frame assembly
Extra hood (pretty rough though)
Extra trunk lid in great condition
Original seats (covers in rough shape)
Original 4.22 gearset (3.90 gear installed)
It's a really cool car, something a little different. It's like driving a fun go-cart. Rip through first and second, jam it into 3rd, and you're doing 40 mph! It's a small (easily stored/worked on) car that gets good gas mileage and is a blast to drive. Got a lot of looks and questions running around in it. Parts are readily available through Moss Motors, Victoria British, or Little British Car Company. Can get more pics upon request if there's genuine interest.
Some pics - car is a little dusty, but you get the gist.
Hood was "popped" in this pic, it does fit and shut properly.

Believe me, that thought has crossed my mind.
Not gonna lie, it's a long shot that I'd want it, but what are the specs on it? Condition, mileage...any pics?

How about a mighty Vmax ?
Fast and easy to store. You could be running low 11's high 10's and getting 40 mpg without having to crouch behind a tiny windscreen!
If your interested, let me know, I want more for the Vmax, but I am sure we could work something out.
