Description

1971 Austin-Healey Sprite Mk IV – RHD – Convertible – Running & Driving

Offered for sale is this 1971 Austin-Healey Sprite Mk IV, a right-hand drive example and the final evolution of the classic Sprite line. This car delivers exactly what these lightweight British roadsters are loved for — simple mechanics, nimble handling, and authentic open-top motoring.

The Sprite is fully serviceable, running and driving, and can be enjoyed immediately. Mechanically it is a usable and functional classic rather than a project, making it ideal for summer drives, local shows, or as an accessible entry into classic car ownership.

Paintwork requires attention and shows its age, offering an opportunity for cosmetic improvement to suit the next owner's tastes. Importantly, this is not a dismantled or non-running restoration — it is a working Austin-Healey convertible that can be driven and improved over time.
