FOR SALE: 1959 AUSTIN HEALEY SPRITE MK1 (frogeye) AN5L29261 in excellent condition. This beautiful Austin Healey Sprite Mark1 (frogeye) in Old English White was built on 8/9 December 1959, as a left-hand drive North American export model. The car was shipped to the California dealer on 22 December 1959. I acquired it via Denmark where it had been in a 24-year long-term Danish ownership.

It has been restored to a high standard in keeping with its originality and is in excellent condition with extra security features. Under the steel bonnet is the original 948cc engine. Mileage 29.9k. (kilometres 46.6k) This is a matching numbers car. During my ownership it was kept covered in a clean, humidified garage, only driven in dry weather. It comes with sliding side screens, a soft top and tonneau cover.

It is fitted with chrome wire wheels plus spare and also included are the original five steel wheels with AH hub caps. It has a British Motor Industry Heritage Trust Certificate, a large history file and photographs of the restoration. Other extras include the original Californian number plate, an indoor dust cover, and an all weather cover, seat belts, period radio, luggage rack & picnic basket! Regrettably selling due to my reduced mobility.

Hi, Thanks for showing an interest in my frogeye, however your offer of €13k is way too low. I think if you seen it you'd agree that it's worth nearer to my asking price. Regards, George

Ok, I understand. However the LHD is the issue. If it was RHD I'd be able to offer more. The LHD reduces the value to me. However it sure looks a beautiful specimen. Come back to me if it's worth a discussion if you don't get more appropriate offers. Thanks for your time & I wish you well.

Hi Bryan, Thanks for your interest & offer on my frogeye. Regretable it would need to be closer to my asking price. And if you seen the car I think you would realise this. Regards, George

Hi Bryan, Yes, my frogetye is still for sale; however there's been a lot of interest in it. I refused an offer of €19k. The minimum I'd accept is €20k & as I said before if you viewed it I think you'd agree its worth it . Regards, George
