AH Sprite Mk IV – Matching Numbers/ 33, 000 miles/ Stunning
Welcome to the sale of an exceptional Austin Healey Sprite that has had just seven owners and covered a warranted 33, 000 miles from new that Milestones had the pleasure of selling three years ago.
Registered in London on 1st August 1971 and finished in Blaze Red (Code RD16) with matching factory hardtop/ black interior this remarkably original car has clearly been cherished by a previous owner, a retired motor engineer.
On the road the car is one of the best driving AH Sprites that we have had through Milestones. The car starts instantly with excellent oil-pressure, accelerates briskly through the gears making all the right noises and simply handles like it is on rails – the essence of a classic sports car.
The 1970’s Blaze colour scheme, my personal favourite, presents extremely well with a deep shine and a very light patina that simply cannot be replicated during a restoration. The rare factory hard-top is in exceptionally good condition with the hood available underneath should you wish to revert to open-top motoring.
The history file contains all MOTs since July 1976, Heritage Certificate, invoices, and original handbook.
Utterly original, low mileage, low ownership cars are highly desirable in the current market.
Ready for the summer this is a very rare opportunity - we expect our “Small Healey” to find an appreciative new custodian quickly.
