This distinctive British roadster is a 1966 Austin-Healey Sprite Mk III, manufactured in the heart of the swinging '60s and boasting an era-defining charm that continues to captivate automotive enthusiasts today. Originally hailing from Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania, this classic cruiser has traversed many miles since its initial roll-off-the-production-line year, yet it retains a significant allure with its original 1960s British Sports Car design aesthetic. The Sprite Mk III is powered by a robust 1,098 cc inline-four engine, mated to a manual four-speed transmission that offers a delightful mechanical connection between driver and machine. This particular example has undergone an extensive refurbishment process by its current owner, who acquired it in 2014, ensuring that the Sprite Mk III remains as fun and engaging to drive as it was decades ago. The seller's loving care is evident throughout, with notable work including a comprehensive service of the engine, suspension overhaul, corrosion remediation, and an interior retrim in black vinyl to evoke a modern twist on its retro charm, complete with removable tops for sunny-day motoring excitement.
