1965 AUSTIN HEALEY SPRITE MKIII

LMCT 7819
SN:4130

4 WIRE WHEELS, 4 GEARS, 2 SEATS AND A LOAD OF FUN

The Austin Healey Sprite created a huge stir when introduced in 1958 as a low cost, Fun Sports Car. By 1964 and the MkIII model, the Sprite had evolved into a much more Modern Car, Now Equipped with Wind Up Windows, Quarter Vents, External Door Handles and a Curved Glass Windscreen, while Mechanically, the 1098cc motor was Stronger than previous, with better casting and 2” Main Bearings, the Rear Suspension also benefited from Semi-Elliptic Leaf Springs.

Presenting in ubiquitous British Racing Green, this MkIII Sprite is complimented by its Silver painted Wire Wheels, complementary Dark Green Interior Trim and two Black Seats. The Interior also features an increasing hard to find, Original Steering Wheel with tunes provided by a modern Pioneer CD/Radio and Weather Protection in the form both a Black Vinyl Soft-Top and Tonneau cover.

Mechanically the MkIII feels Tight and Willing, the 1098cc Engine Benefiting from a Full Rebuild in May, 2010 and has travelled less than 6,500 miles since. The MkIII Sprites benefit from the later and stronger ‘Ribcase’ Gearbox, which combined with the Fresh Engine, the later style Suspension and Disc Brakes up front, make this Healey a Delightful car to Drive.

With the support of a friendly and active club, Austin Healey Sprite ownership is a Real Pleasure, whether it’s going for a Sunday run in the Hills or nipping out for a Quick Coffee on a Sunny Morning.
