Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Superbly restored but in the process updated. Highback seats, Pioneer cassette, Mountney GT steering wheel. Fresh springs that give it SUV like ground clearance. A restoration project gone mad. Claimed to have $40K in the car, a claim supported by the workmanship.

Market commentary

The seller was somehow under the misapprehension that the Sprite market had gone wild, mentioning a $40,000 sale at B J (except there were no Sprites at B J this year), and had his expectations totally out of touch with reality, not to say having spent more on the car than could ever be recovered. The high ride height didnt help.
