Beautifully (actually even magnificently) restored but nowhere 'over the top'. Painted in a beautiful British Racing Green, but it is exactly in the right colour and just not too good, just not too shiny, to be credible. The upholstery is redone in authentic black leather, just exactly right, nowhere too beautiful or too smooth. This is precisely what makes this Austin Healey Sprite so charming, such an attractive thingummy, ostensibly built and rebuilt for an effortless second period of 50 years ... Please also look closely at the chassis, the bottom: you perfectly see what ‘is there', nothing is concealed anywhere, nothing hidden and no use of fillers anywhere. But everyone will see that the chassis and bottom are intact! Suspension, braking system, exhaust system, wherever you look, this car is one of a kind, a true find! The last known owner was allegedly an enthusiast with great fame. With oil in his veins and no euro signs. 

Austin Healey Sprite MkIII (1964 - 1966)
With the exception of a few details pertaining to the lines, the Austin Healey Sprite MkIII is virtually identical to the MG Midget MkII. The engine still had 1098cc capacity but was stronger; the entire block became stronger due to the bigger and better crankshaft bearings.

The MkIII got a new curved windshield, parking lamps and side windows in the doors which can be manually turned up and down. These now had door handles with locks on the outside and a soft top, but because of the soft top the rear suspension was adjusted; these were still leaf springs but the suspension and shock absorption were improved; thereby the weight of the car increased slightly. The value and durability also for sure! 

Engine specifications: 1098 cc, 59 HP at 5750 rpm and 88 Nm at 3500 rpm (from the manufacturer, we estimate this Healy has around 70 HP).

Important characteristics
Slightly older restoration, perfectly done, with an emphasis an authenticity and (preservation of) patina. Maintenance is fully up to date. Tyres and wheels are good. Comes with Dutch Periodic Vehicle Inspection. The engine starts quickly, runs beautifully and smoothly. Delightful sound, the exhaust matches perfectly with the (lightly tuned) condition the engine / car is in. The chrome work is magnificent but not restored too much. The interior is beautiful, sleek, light signs of wear, authentic materials. The exhaust system is in a good condition (stainless steel) -electrical installation works properly. Beautiful, almost new top, should be lightly cleaned. Suspension and attenuation (shock absorbers) in a good condition, therefore the car drives fantastic!
As a bonus there is a matching luggage rack mounted with associated picnic (suit)case. Some extra luggage space is always welcome. 

Valued at more than 13,000 euro by a licensed assessor this week. 

Can be viewed and picked up in Waalwijk, The Netherlands. We always recommend viewing the vehicle so that you, as a serious bidder, exactly know what you are buying. Of course, we strive to give you as clear a picture as possible with many photos and extensive text, describing the condition of the vehicle. But vintage vehicles are often 25 to over 60 years old, we don’t have x-ray vision and may have missed something. We can take care of transport to EU countries at cost through a few specialised transport companies.

Can be picked up in: Netherlands - with Dutch registration - 65000 kilometres - In good condition

Unique Objects

Occasionally, two different bidders may show up in the bidding history with the same bid amount. This occurs when one user's bid is exactly the same as an automatic (maximum) bid placed by another user earlier. Since the auto-bid was placed first, this takes preference. The bidding history will show both bids, with the auto-bid ranked as the higher of the two.


Double bid

It may appear that the same bid has been placed by two different bidders. This can occur if someone places a bid in another currency which is then rounded to the same amount as the previous bid in %{local_currency}.

This can occur for the following reasons:
<p>1. If an opening bid does not meet a lot’s reserve price (hidden minimum), buyers may try outbidding their earlier bid in order to find that lot’s RP.</p>
<p>2. If an auto-bid (user-set maximum bid) is outbid, the bidding log will show the first and final steps of that user's auto-bid in a row. The new highest bid will be shown at the top.</p>

Why is this bidder outbidding him- or herself?
