The Engine (with approximately 1500 break-in miles on it) is a 1275 A Series Block (coded "V"= stronger internal webbing thats been bored .0020 over). It has been partially balanced and has fairly "hot" cam (but very "streetable"), along with a Weber 2V progressive Carburetor, Pacesetter Exhaust Header, new Sprite Muffler and produces about 80hp- and it definitely wants to go over 100mph in 5th!

The original owner drove the Sprite for 3 to 4 summers, and then it was stored inside for 41 years, after which, I bought it in 2009 from the gentleman's estate. I have owned six MK2 Sprites since the early 60's, and this one is by far the best (and fastest). The car runs great and is fairly quick and is "reliable".

I do have the "British Heritage Certificate" for the car.The Sprite could be driven home (if you were up to it) and I could also assist in arranging shipping. Over $35K invested and but arthritis in my hands and bad hips have finally caught up with me. The price is $22,000. FOB Minneapolis, MN USA.
