Registered in August 1959, this characterful Austin-Healey ‘Frogeye’ presents well inside and out. Its odometer shows 02652 miles and its last MoT expired in August 2013 after having been tested the previous year at an indicated 2042 miles. As an historic vehicle, however, the Frogeye is now MoT-exempt. The car's documentation includes the current and a previous V5C, some old tax discs, a hefty amount of early 21st century invoices, and a selection of MoTs back to 1996, when the mileage was indicated as 56,973 miles. The odometer seems to have been reset around 2006, which may be when the Austin-Healey was restored. Its previous colour is noted as mauve/purple, which was changed in 1980.
