SUMMARY
Pretty little 'Frogeye', an older restoration in an unusual colour from long term ownership.
DESCRIPTION
- The Oxford Dictionary's definition of 'Spritely' is 'Like a Sprite, lively, nimble, full of energy' a description that neatly fits the little silver Frogeye on offer here
- This is a genuine home-market, UK-supplied car with a Heritage Certificate. Supplied new to Mists Garage in Birmingham, being sold to Mr Ensor of Tamworth on 30/09/1960
- Restored some 20 years ago with photographic evidence and still looking fresh today
- Fitted with the more entertaining 1,275cc A-Series for a more exhilarating drive
- Owned by our vendor since 2004 and only three previous keepers
- Fitted with a set of chrome wires, however, the original wheels and some spares are available to the wining bidder to be collected after the sale
- Supplied with an, as-new, roof and side screens for the hardcore amongst us that venture out in the rain
- A lovely, in-depth history file accompanies the car detailing lots of care in the past
