...all at one spot.
Well, it happened such that I had purchased my first 1966 Sprite in late May. I didn't know anything about these cars other than I wanted one. A week later, I got word of another, restored 1966 Sprite for sale at a car show on the other side of the state. Being the painfully curious type that I am, I drove up to check out this car, thanks to the excellent forethought of my contact who had taken a photo of the car's For Sale information with his camera phone!
The car checked out as amazingly rust-free, clean, and painted a deep red.
Fast forward to tonight, and I have two 1966 Austin Healey Sprites in my garage (in one stall, ha!)
This thing is just beautiful to me. I love the tonneau cover and it came with a new, uninstalled top as well as the original top.
It's sort of a surreal feeling to see two of em sitting in there. Unfortunately the first one must go to fund the partial purchase of the latter (as well as free up space for my 1954 Ford sedan...) I've posted it in the classified section on here, but don't imagine any of you are in the area /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/wink.gif
