      <description>1969 Austin-Healey Sprite MKIV Convertible

  For consignment, a 1969 Austin-Healey MKIV Sprite convertible.  It has a title verified 55,181 actual miles and was lovingly adored by the owner who bought it in honor of his mother who owned one when he was young.  It required the owner to learn how to drive a stick shift and this special car is now available for the next caretaker, awaiting new stories to tell. 

  Exterior
 Everyone knows they're cute and this little Sprite provides even more whimsy with its coat of Sunshine Yellow.  The smiling face begins with a grinning egg crate grille behind a pair of yellow rally lights, and capped with the Austin-Healey winged logo.  Rock guards protect the round headlights, while amber marking lights sit below and on the fender for side visibility.  A luggage rack on the trunk lid provides some extra storage on a car with limited available space and the elongated tail lights occupy most of the rear fender, while reverse lights are inset on the rear fascia.  Twin chrome exhaust tips protrude from under the car and provide a race inspired view for those behind.  That's also the case with the roll bar which rises high above the seats and instills confidence in turns just in case the 13-inch wheels with 155/80R13 tires break loose with some spirited driving.  Those black wheels have Austin-Healey engraved dog dish hubcaps and silver rims and despite the myriad of aftermarket wheels Austin owners might use, we like the stock look of the 'dogs.  Imperfections are few but include some minor rust around bottom edges, more significant where the black filler coats the rear fender bottom, a few paint chips here and there, and an occasional touch up.  

  Interior
 Clever door panels place the actuator towards the back of the door allowing passengers to reach over their shoulder to open the door and requires less hardware in the door to reach the latch.  The black vinyl panels are in great shape and have a hinged front quarter window above.  Black vinyl also covers the bucket seats with patterned inserts and added headrests.  The rear deck is carpeted and houses a couple of speakers and the crossmembers of the roll bar.  Straight ahead a banjo style steering wheel greets the driver and is emblazoned with the Austin-Healey crest in the middle, a combination of the Lord Austin family crest and the Austin or "noble" Coat of Arms.  A 4 gauge pod is presented to the driver with the ever important tachometer and speedometer, the larger of the four.  An original BMC AM radio is in the center just behind the floor mounted shifter and its yellow #1 billiard ball shift knob.  Low pile black carpet completes the interior tour and we would categorize the interior as one that shows the cars has been driven and enjoyed and is entirely presentable.  

  Drivetrain
 Driver condition under the hood as well where we find the 1275cc inline 4 cylinder engine rated at 62 horsepower.  The bay, as well as the trunk, show some surface rust, pitted in some areas and ripe for encapsulation and paint.  Meanwhile, the engine is fed by SU HS2 1 barrel carburetors and put into motion via a 4-speed manual transmission sending power to the rear wheels and 4.22 gears.  Disc brakes are found in the front and rums in the rear.  

  Undercarriage
 The monocoque construction of the car results in some flat belly pans with the single exhaust running below them, straight back and entering a glasspack style muffler before passing the bumper with the twin tips.  Coil springs are up front and leaf springs are out back.  There are areas of surface rust, not unexpected and a few drops of oil on the oil pan, but generally clean and dry underneath and ready to hit the streets! 

  Drive-Ability
 And hit the streets we did, or at least our short test loop where the little yellow roadster buzzed along, wringing out the 62 horsepower which feels adequate on a car that weighs around 1,500 pounds.  What it lacks in overall power, it makes up for in fun and driving enjoyment.  It's nimble, eager, and basically an overgrown go kart.  The only thing that didn't work on the car was the heater blower. 

  Whether you have a collection, or a collection of one, a small British roadster has to be on your shopping list.  Sprites and Austin-Healeys in general, have an enthusiastic following and clubs all over the country and one can only imagine the good times ahead with a group of fellow owners and events.  You don't have to socialize to own this car but be prepared to make friends wherever you go!

      <title>1967 Austin Healey Sprite</title>

      <description>1967 Austin Healey Sprite MKIV Convertible

  For consignment, we have a race ready 1967 Austin Healy Mark IV convertible.  This car would have started out as a pedestrian sports car with Austin Healey Sprites having a history of being built by and co-marketed as MG Midgets, (think; Ford Taurus – Mercury Sable).  True to some sports car definitions, they were two-seat automobiles with emphasis on dynamic performance and handling.  Other definitions dictate that true sports cars are roadsters, (convertibles or open air), and this little Sprite would fit the bill.  Lots has been done to this little car to make it a substantial track car while retaining its street legality! 

  Exterior
 Originally a California car, first prepared for racing in 2011, this car's striking appearance leaves no doubt it wants to get up and go.  Hunkered down on 13-inch Minilite aluminum wheels, the blue...a sort of electric or rally blue...looks great on the car, accentuated by a large "247" number decal on each door.  FP appears on the passenger side front fender denoting the car is raced in the Production class of SCCA – modified but retaining original design and structure.  No mistaking that here as the headlight, taillights and marking lights are in place and functional...part of the "street legal" requirements.  Hood pins secure the hood while a beefy roll cage sits tall over the seats.  The trunk retains its twist latch and "Sprite" emblem.  References to Suixtil, an Argentinian race accessory company, can be found on a left fender decal and decal on the trunk lid.  We should note there is a scratch in the paint near the right rear taillight and the inner lip of the trunk lid show evidence of invasive rust and that probably wasn't an intentional weight reducing measure.  A nifty chrome sport side mirror provides views of pursuing competitors to the left. 

  Interior
 Red Sparco racing seats dominate the interior and accommodate the 5-point racing harness.  A removable Sparco steering wheel is present, in front the machined metal dash panel.  Gauges are at a minimum here - just enough for racing; speed, tach, water temp and oil pressure.  A bank of electric toggle switches and fuses complete the amenities.  The pedals are bare bones and small and the shifter is a sculpted piece of billet that provides great grip.  A fire extinguisher is bolted to the transmission hump.  The rest of the interior is sparse as race cars tend to be.  No radio, no sound-deadening, no door cards.  The roll cage provides side support and the doors are fixed but low enough to practically walk over.  You're at one with the road and you wouldn't want distractions like opening doors to ruin the experience. 

  Drivetrain
 The rebuilt in 2011 1275cc 4 cylinder engine is fed by dual 1-barrel carbs and lit by an electronic ignition distributor.  A four-speed manual sends the power to a limited slip differential and 4.55 gears.  Stopping comes by way of a recently upgraded dual circuit brake system, new Kevlar front brake pads and new shoe pads on the back drums.  A new battery and smaller race-style alternator were added in the summer of 2021.  Wires and hoses are newer as is the aluminum radiator.  Gas is pumped from an 8-gallon racing fuel cell in the trunk using an electric fuel pump. 

  UndercarriageThe sparsity continues in the flat-bottomed undercarriage, but we can confirm the Evo adjustable shocks and rear leaf springs.  A header terminates at a glasspack style muffle via a straight pipe; we noted surface rust on the length of the exhaust.  True to its British roots, we notice some seepage on the oil pan.  A bright yellow tow hook is connected to the frame in front. 

  Drive-ability
 It doesn't take much power to make small cars feel super fast, and this one is no exception.  The suspension and racing wheels keep this car planted around turns and the open-air driving is about as close to street legal go-kart as you'll find.  Shifts are short and crisp and braking is spot on and this little blue rocket eagerly takes to our test loop with flying colors.  It's light, tight and just right!  

  A Sprite can be defined as small, playful, and having magical powers and this little car is both spritely and spry.  A toss-able little track car that can be driven to shows and convenience stores just as readily.  This car already has some vintage racing provenance – at both Lime Rock and White Mountain.  If you look at its happy face, it is clearly saying, "C'mon....let's go!"  Well, who will answer the call?
