1962 Austin Healey Sprite- Built for AutoX and road use. This car has been built to be driven, he 948cc engine pulls like a much bigger motor and is built to last. This is perhaps the most fun street car I've ever owned. It handles like a dream, ulls like no tomorrow and shifts smoothly. The car was built using parts amassed over the past 20 years, any of which are no longer available at any price.
