'61 Sprite MKII Value

[AngliaGT]

I'm going to look at a '61 Sprite on Saturday.
The owner tells me: It's mostly there,little rust,
dis assembled.
What are these worth?- Aprox.
I put this on the Healey Forum by mistake earlier.

Fully restored, and in pristine shape, about $10k-15k... Maybe more with the right buyer. But sounds like a $500-1000 car to me... Unless almost every new part you'll need is there, still in the boxes.

He's ASKING $300 for it.

Good price even if it's just a parts car - you can't find $300 parts cars anymore. Unless it's just a stripped, rusted out body tub. If it's a clean/straight, not rusted out tub, it's probably still worth the $300.

Echo on what Kenny says - I'd buy it if it checks out.

I haven't told the Wife yet!
I wonder if she'd suspect anything if I went with the Suburban & an empty trailer?
My famous line....."I'm just going to LOOK at it".
I had 13 vehicles at one time,now I'm down to....8.
I had to count.
Thanks for the help.

Car was sold by the time I got there.
Looked like a major restoration project.
