This could be a good project for somebody, an original RHD car.

Well, the time has come. I may love Bugeyes, but when it comes right
down to it I donâ??t love restoration work. The reality is that Iâ??m not
going to finish this project, so itâ??s time to move it on.
The car is a 1959 Sprite. Original RHD car, sold initially in Penryn,
Cornwall. Imported to the USA by George Broomfield (Director of
Manufacturing for Delorean) â?? I bought the car from his grandson.
The GOOD:
* Bodywork was done by Schneider Auto in SLC, and is in fantastic shape.
* Wheels and tires are new.
* Car is complete (or at least was when I took it apart for bodywork)
* Includes a factory hardtop in good shape
* Has a 948 engine and ribcase transmission, also includes a 1275 for
rebuilding
* Includes a Datsun 5-speed and the necessary conversion pieces
* Includes parts to convert to front disc brakes (but those pieces
likely need to be rebuilt)
* I have the title and Heritage Certificate in hand
* Some chrome has been redone
The BAD:
* This is a car in boxes
* Other than the bodywork and wheels, EVERYTHING else needs to be
rebuilt including the engine
* Things like brake/fuel lines and wiring will need to be totally done
or bought in
* Seats are rough, possibly rebuildable
If youâ??re interested, give me a call at 801-450-7493 or email me at
drooartz@gmail.com <mailto:drooartz@gmail.com>Â and we can chat. I am not
interested in parting the car out, would really like it to go to someone
that will finish it and get it back on the road. Itâ??s a good little car
and deserves another chance to be on the road
