This is “Tiny” (HAN6L 4718), a 1962 Austin Healey Sprite Mark II which just arrived from California and is ready to for your garage!
While we’ve worked on many “Square Sprites,” we haven’t sold too many of them, but I’m excited to offer this one for sale because it’s a very interesting car. This is a Sprite Mark two from 1962, which came along immediately after Bugeye production ended. This was engineered to be an improvement over the Bugeye, with a light weight bonnet to open and a boot lid to improve access to storage and cargo. For all the Bugeye folks used to the AN5 prefix, here’s an AN6!
It has a 948 engine with a Ford five speed conversion, so if drivability is your priority, you’ll enjoy the fully synchronized gearbox and overdrive fifth gear. This conversion is expensive, so you can buy it installed in this car at a depreciated price-we thank the prior owner for investing so generously in his car!
This is a solid California car. It has a disc brake conversion and a Weber side draft carburetor. It looks cool and is very quick. Some clients may prefer a calmer twin SU set-up, which we can add for the new owner if so desired. Meanwhile, here’s a cool Sprite with some nice upgrades at a very reasonable price! (Were this a Bugeye, it would be sold for more!)
The interior is nice, with custom leather two-tone seats, freshly redone. There is a good tonneau and top included, these are removable just like on a Bugeye, and with this series, you have a trunk in which to store them! This is a great car at an awesome price!
