See all the things wrong with it, but it is lovely.

Looks nice, not an original color but in watching the Barret-Jackson Auction this A.M. on Tivo this one went for $16k. They did not show the auction on htis one just the price scrolling across the bottom of the screen.

For $16K I'd expect the bonnet to fit a little better! Also, those off-brand raised-white letter tires just don't do it for me.

So how much longer do I have to wait for my Mk4 sprite to be worth 15 to 20k?

Didn't know you could do a "Body off resto" on a Sprite

Sure you can. You get the body off the floor and on sawhorses. /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/grin.gif

don't wait, because our 61 mk2 has 30k plus tied up into it, still have to do the rear suspension i.e. heavy axles etc. came with 1380 huffaker, a 5 speed, front disc conversion, and it was purchased for exactly 25% of the investment... just have fun with it because every one wants bugeyes and the box sprite are for racing...its a proven fact...enjoy it and don't get too upside down with your "investment"

I just took a real hard look at that car, wow, someone paid 17K. Miss Agatha has got to be worth 20. So much stuff on that car is just wrong. But then I bet it drives well, someone is going to have lots of fun indeed.

not 17k...7500...7500/30000=25%

Whats wrong with white letter tires? I like them. I bought the white letter firehawks because they have a nice square edge similar to the original look that the bias ply tires had. I hate to see round edged radial tires on cars from the 60s and 70s.
