AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Only very rarely do you come across gems, such as this very nice Austin Healey Sprite MK2 from 1962. The car is now 64 years old (!). It has been restored and rebuilt from scratch. A photo report is available, see the photos. A real eye-catcher!

The engine is a 4-cylinder engine, 1098 cc, with 43 kW (=58 hp) that starts directly and pulls well, the car shifts, steers and brakes nicely. Because of its age the car is exempt from APK (MOT) and no road tax needs to be paid. Small details such as the mounted bumper parts and wheels give it a bit of a rugged look. Truly a car that has been worked on with a lot of love, you can see that in everything.

Documents:
The Austin Healey Sprite has a Dutch registration; if desired the car can be delivered with an EU export document for an additional €50 so that a foreign buyer can easily register the car.

Technical:
Years ago the engine was rebuilt; among other things a new battery has been installed, the existing components work fine, tires and exhaust are like new.

Bodywork:
Many positives here as well; around 2013 a new paint job was applied, which suits it very well, not perfect but very beautiful. The floor has been replaced with a new floor, very neat and good, the soft top was replaced with a new one, very nice.

Interior:
The interior is completely renewed, the seat upholstery is in superb condition, as are the mats and side panels, and the trunk lining is also very nice. The dashboard also looks very neat.

In short, a delightful classic, with a lot of presence, at an affordable price.

Transport:
The car is located in Hengevelde, Netherlands and can be picked up here. Transport is also possible, with an additional €150 excluding VAT, within the Netherlands (excluding the Wadden Islands).

For foreign buyers:
The seller can arrange relatively cheap delivery to the entire EU, which is no problem because the transport is handled by a professional carrier.

Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road. It is advised to carefully read our submission guidelines that further describe details about the condition grades and types to manage your expectations. Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration. Neither the seller nor Catawiki is responsible for the registration of the vehicle in your country and will not accept a cancellation for your failure to register the vehicle. We also recommend that, if possible, you arrange a viewing with the seller before placing a bid.
