***NO RESERVE*** From long-term family ownership and fitted with attractive wire wheels

Finished in Colorado Red with a black vinyl interior, ‘GVU 929D’ is a delightfully honest and usable example of the charming Austin Healey Sprite. Fitted with attractive wire wheels and retaining a period-correct appearance, this appealing British sports car has remained in the same family ownership for over 30 years.
The vendor informs us the car drives wonderfully and has been in regular use. Though now MOT exempt due to its age, it comes with a fresh, advisory-free MOT valid until May 2026 — a clear sign of its ongoing maintenance and mechanical health.
Recent attention includes a new dashboard, stainless steel exhaust, replacement fuel tank, and a number of service items to keep the car in strong running order. With its low-slung stance, light steering and peppy performance, the Sprite remains an ideal entry into classic British motoring and a welcome sight at summer shows and events.
In summary:
- Fresh MOT to May 2026, despite being MOT exempt
- In the same family ownership for over 30 years
- Offered without reserve
- A charming and characterful Sprite that’s ready to be enjoyed.
