A new baby

Just Sunday I purchased a gorgeous little '62 Austin Healey Sprite for my wife. While it may be primer gray right now, need some trim, a new interior, desperate work on the electrical and the obvious paint job, it's got something going for it over our '74 Jensen Healey. It runs! On it's own! Even uphill!This is a tiny, zippy little car that weighs next to nothing and corners like it's on rails. In fact I'd almost say that it corners tighter than my Jensen but it's been in the shop so long I'm not sure. The plan is a custom restoration to which end a convertible top and, most importantly, service manual have been ordered and are on their way.
