1960 Austin-Healey Bug Eye Sprite - SOLD
This is now SOLD. Search for similar items.
Description:
Wonderfully handling car! The car is well known among the Group 1 guys and it is a blast to drive. I can hop in it tomorrow and it will fire right up and get me through the race weekend. I have a race shop and everything was done right to make this a dependable and safe running car. If you are just getting into vintage racing or if you are experienced then this is a perfect car for you. I had a DB-2 sports racer that I ran for about a year and sold it to go back to the fun I was having in the Bug Eye. It not only looks good on the track but it even sounds great!
History
SCCA log book all the way back to the 70's. I have log books going back to 2001 when I bought it. Most recent race was Fall 2010 at VDCA Rd. Atlanta. Great race with a Mini!
