Lot Ended
Description
Ground-up restoration in 2019; rebuilt unleaded engine; steel bonnet;
a fine example
207 FTT was first registered on 14th July 1960 and
shows three previous keepers on the V5C. The buff logbook is missing its owner's
page, so the history of the car doesn't pick up until 2019 when the invoices for
its restoration start to accumulate.
Its then owner was a lady living in
Dorset and bills from Frogeye Spares show a new boot floor and associated panels
were required. The work was entrusted to South Coast Customs and Classics and
also included repairs to the left hand rear wing, arches, scuttle rain channel,
bonnet hinge area, floor plan etc.
The shell was then fully flatted, the
under side seam sealed, primed and painted in its original shade of
blue.
Frogeye Spares also provided a lot of the engine components for its
rebuild, including a new oil pump, core plugs, timing chain, big end and main
bearing sets, water pump etc, D&R James also of Poole fitting valve inserts
for unleaded fuel and reboring and honing the block. Frogeye Spares also
supplied a new wiring loom. There are plenty more bills besides.
The end
result is a very smart Sprite which is ready to go.....the only job left to do
is to source a hood as this is not present, although the frame
is.
