These first-gen Frogeyes have become truly desirable collectors, and so it's great to see a first-year example that is so well finished. This one is coming off of over two decades of long term ownership, and so as you look over this whole car, you see a little bit of extra care that goes into a classic you want as a keeper. It's in everything from the way the panels align to correct details, like the factory "AH" hubcaps. There's also an overall appeal because these Sprites were all about the joy of driving. These first-gen cars seem to capture the spirit the best. After all, you can't help but smile when you see the styling that's unique to these first few years. And while the design is endearing, this had a much larger purpose. It's a featherweight machine that could even shed the roof and windshield for racing. And while the black vinyl top might be for temporary use, it looks good as it coordinates with the racing stripes. The green on this one certainly isn't British Racing Green. Instead it's a more modern Mopar color, but it feels like it fits here as part of the tradition of bold colors on British roadsters. If you love the way the black roof looks against the green paint, then you'll love the black interior, too. There are nice details, like the added comfort from the high-back bucket seats that also have the sporty vented pattern. While fashionable, we all really know the real purpose is to be a driver-focused machine. That's why you get a grippy wood-rimmed steering wheel that makes it easy to see the clear Smiths speedometer. And this one doesn't need a center console because your right hand rests perfectly and naturally on the gearshift. The hood now hinges at the front for better access to the motor. This is a good thing, because it really gives everyone a chance to see the level of detail, too. It's the correct 948cc unit, but there have also been a bunch of upgrades. It includes a Weber carburetor, Pierce intake, Flame Thrower ignition, Cobalt wires, and an aluminum radiator. It helps give a little extra pep to the engine, but really, the Sprite's biggest performance advantage has always been its light weight. Also, part of the appeal is that it takes plenty of driver input from the four-speed manual transmission to get the most out of this mighty little motor. So you'll be particularly happy to know the gearbox was replaced earlier in 2020. The last key to the Sprite being so good on the backroads is its unibody construction. It was revolutionary for a road car at the time, and it keeps the featherweight body nice and stiff in the turns Complete with build receipts, you can already tell from the photos that everything (including the undercarriage) was cared for correctly on this Healey. So when it has this quality feel, all you have to do to enjoy it is be the first one here to snap it up. Call today!!!

That said, we did not build, modify, or have the luxury of personal ownership that would give us the advantage of knowing all unknown aspects of each vehicle. Transparency is king and we're happy to try and answer ALL questions our customers might have prior to purchasing. Additionally, we welcome and encourage independent inspections (see Inspection statement below). Fees: A documentation fee of $199 will be added to the purchase price at the time of sale. Sale price does not include any Title, License, Registration, State or Local Taxes or Processing Fees. We recommend you familiarize yourself with your individual state's taxes, transfer, or additional fees. Availability: Please inquire prior to purchase to assure any advertised vehicle is not already sold. We advertise across multiple platforms where a vehicle can sell in a moment's notice. Vehicles may be sold prior to eBay listing end, and we reserve the right to end listings early or to cancel bids/offers solely at our discretion and shall not be held liable for any such cancellation. Contact: Note that you may hear from us after to the sale, but if you are a winning bidder, click a Buy-It-Now, or we accept your eBay Offer, it is your responsibility to contact us within 24 hours. Inspection: VERY IMPORTANT. If a buyer chooses to buy sight unseen (many of our buyers choose this option) the buyer accepts the vehicle AS-IS and understands we cannot address concerns post sale. For this reason, it's important all concerns are addressed prior to purchase. We make every effort to present accurate and reliable information, but use of this information is voluntary, and should only be deemed reliable after an independent review of its accuracy, completeness, and timeliness. It is the sole responsibility of the customer/buyer to verify the existence of options, accessories and the vehicle condition before time of sale. Payment: We require a non-refundable $500 deposit within 48 hours of winning or commitment to purchase. Full payment is required within 7 days of offer acceptance unless other arrangements are agreed to in writing. If deposit and/or full payment are not provided within said timeframe, all vehicles will be relisted and transaction will be considered void. For balance of payment we will accept bank wire transfer (preferred), cashier's check, or personal check (vehicle shipment will be delayed until check clears).We also offer vehicle financing, please inquire for details prior to making bids/offers. Shipping: We have access to a network of private and commercial carriers. Most of them can deliver the vehicle to your driveway and upon your schedule. We assume no responsibility for damages or delays incurred once a vehicle is in a shipper's custody. Buyers are welcomed to trailer vehicles home and we are happy to have everything ready to see you off with your new vehicle. Drive it Home: If you plan to buy and drive home, please keep some things in mind. Anything is possible when it comes to a vehicle, especially a classic or antique one. We recommend transporting all vehicles to your home first, then driving it locally. Get to know the vehicle and its tendencies before embarking on a long-distance trip. If you choose to drive your new vehicle home, buyer accepts all responsibility as we are unable to control what may take place once it leaves our facility. Documents & Vehicle Titles: All purchase documents are sent immediately upon purchase. To avoid delays, we recommend returning any required documents within 24 hours of receipt. Please allow up to 30 days for vehicle titles. Usually titles are available sooner, we ask for the extra time in the event there are unforeseen circumstances. VIN Verification: We photograph the primary VIN location of every vehicle and make sure that VIN exactly matches the vehicle's current title. Buyer agrees to hold seller harmless from any disputes arising from other hidden or secondary VINs present on the vehicle as seller only verifies the primary VIN location. If needed, it is the buyer's sole responsibility to verify secondary VIN locations their specific state may inspect, prior to purchase. Mileage: Occasionally our vehicles may be driven or simply moved around our facilities. Slight differences may occur so we recommend you confirm actual and current miles prior to purchase. Condition: We cover the obvious and do our best to describe our vehicles in detail. Even so, please have a transparent conversation with us before purchasing. Do be aware that all pre-owned vehicles, regardless of age, mileage, or manufacturer are subject to cosmetic wear and mechanical failure. Finally, be advised that although our sales associates are here to assist you with your purchase, they are not trained or certified vehicle inspectors.

If you choose to waive inspection, do plan to have a detailed and transparent conversation with us regarding the vehicle's condition. Ask the hard questions up front. Please just call us, we are here to help and welcome all your questions!
