Description for Austin Healey Sprite 1960

This is a project of my father-in-law. Because of serious health condition it cannot be finished. I will try to give you my most accurate description of this car but only of what he has told me through the last 20 years. He purchased in the 60's, rove until 1972, ut in his car garage in 1978, ulled apart and went to a reputable body shop andpaintedin 1981. It has never been outside of that garage sinceuntil now. Lots of parts are new. The body has some damage to the left rocker,rear quarter, and some rust on "hood" as seen in pics. It appears to be relatively straight and solid as does the floors and underbodyThe windshield is cracked but the frame appears ok. The paint has never been waxed but still shows well.The80hp (claimedby him)engine and trans are not original but engine was completely rebuilt within last 10 yearsand is oiled frequently and turned over by hand. It has never been started. The original40hpengine and trans comes withthe car and turn freely by hand also. Thereare no seats, op,or interior parts that I know of and what you see in pics is what you get- no less than but maybe more ifanything turns up.I do not know any of the specifics of the car but will try to answer to the best of my knowledge.
