1970 AUSTIN HEALEY SPRITE MK IV 1275CC 

Registered in June 1970, this is one of the last Austin-Healey Sprites - a MkIV model from the year before production ended (although the shape did continue as the MG Midget until 1979). As a 1969-70 Facelift model, with rear quarter bumpers in place of the full width ones, along with Rostyle wheels, it's believed 1411 of this particular style were built.  The odometer shows 02988 miles, which is probably 102,988 miles judging by the MoT certificates. A previous listing in the paperwork, from April 2019, indicates that the vehicle was Waxoyled underneath at that point. As an historic vehicle, the Sprite is MoT-exempt; its last expired in May 2018.   The history folder includes the present V5C plus some past ones, along with some old tax discs and invoices back to the mid-1990s. They seem to indicate that the car was restored around the turn of the 21st century, at circa 99,000 miles. As well as a print-out of the online MoT summary, there's also MoT certificates from 1991, 1992, 1999, 2000, 2002, 2005 & 2009, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017.
