Details

This 1958 Austin Healey Bugeye Sprite Mark I is an open two-seater roadster, and makes for one great little sports car. Completed at the Austin-Healey Works on June 30, 1958, the Bugeye was dispatched for the U.S. market on July 4th of that year, and in recent times was comprehensively restored by Austin-Healey professionals. During the comprehensive restoration, the engine was upgraded to a 1275cc unit mated to a 5-speed gearbox. The car’s red interior was recently re-trimmed in its correct British spec materials. The car exhibits many nice details throughout, including dual horns, a heater control switch, signal lenses for the dash and is accompanied by the owner's manual, toolkit, and British Heritage Trust Certificate verifying the authenticity of the car. The Bugeye includes the All-Weather equipment option, which includes a black Tonneau cover. This Sprite is exceptionally fun to drive and handles superbly with increased horsepower from the upgraded engine and transmission coupled with increased stopping power from disc brakes.
