Beautiful 59 Bugeye Red over Black Upgraded 1275 Ready to Show and Go see VIDEO!

Thanks for taking a look at our 1959 Austin Healey “Bugeye” or “Frogeye” Sprite.

The Bugeye Sprite. She’s instantly recognizable around the world and everyone goes crazy over that too cute persona in a red sportscar. Equally a terror on the racetracks since its inception, his lightweight rocket is a joy to drive.

We acquired this beautiful Sprite on trade and were instantly smitten with its awesome looks, ice restoration and superb drive-ability.

This is the one with everything the enthusiast wants. Upgraded 1275cc engine. Disc brakes. Beautifully restored coachwork. Nice paint. Gorgeous interior. New convertible top. New side windows. Ladies windscreen. Books and records.

Exterior.

Period correct Healey Red has been buffed to a high sheen and looks great. Excellent panel fit. Very good chrome and trim. New convertible top, erfect bows and new side windows with plexi sliders. Note the rear view mirrors have been mounted to the windscreen frame so as not to damage the wings or the doors. See the pictures. No rust, few paint nicks at the cowl.
