Now SOLD to Dan in Kansas! Bugeye #355 is heading to the Great Plains!
We finally had a minute for a new driving video this week! Ride along below as we take Wayne on our train station test loop!
We are pleased to introduce you to “Wayne”, a stunning 1959 Austin-Healey Sprite. AN5L 16729 was a multi-year restoration completed in about 2016. The car has mostly sat idle since then. We’ve just refreshed the interior, and now we have a very striking cherry red on red Sprite that looks very much like an original showroom example. BMC’s “cherry red” was a deep red just like what you see here, and as such, we have an excellent mostly stock example. Remember, you could have your new Bugeye in blue, green, yellow, beige, white or red. This car is the correct shade of red offered on new Bugeyes.
The carbs have been upgraded to HS2s (a smart move) and we have just added an electric fuel pump in back. A spin-on oil filter was also added during the restoration. Otherwise, this is a mostly stock drum brake 948-powered four speed car. The paint is excellent. The carpet is brand new.
This car is a looker and if you are interested in a pure Bugeye classic in one of the correct color combinations, give this one a serious look!
We can build-out the car to the new owner’s specifications, but most importantly, here we have a solid and stock car, with excellent paint.
Wayne is riding on 2012 rubber, so you might want new tires installed, which we can do here. The rear view mirror is loose, that will be easy to fix. And you can see just a small amount of body roll in the driving video, but a new front sway bar, which we can also add, will flatten things out nicely. We can upgrade the car as much or as little as the new owner desires.
I would also add a red tonneau. There is no top but a top bow is included, and I would put on a new deep red top too, to complete the look.
Call or email if you are interested!
