A 1970 Austin-Healey Sprite, converted to a Sebring replica in 2024, with a huge file of invoices and photographs of the rebuild. It is in great condition and ready to go, with a lot spent recently to get it to its current standard.
The 1275 is on split Webers, professionally set up at JPR Tuning, and it runs brilliantly – smooth and plenty of poke. All through a 5-speed Type 9 gearbox, enabling smooth cruising at UK speeds.
The bodywork was hand painted by the previous owner and is in good condition – a real head turner. The interior is very good with new seats, and adds to its overall very good condition.
Over £6k has just been spent on it, including a new clutch, skimmed flywheel, starter motor and ring gear. The list below covers some of the work, but I’m always happy to discuss the car and its well-documented history.
