Today I take a look at the barn find Sprite I labeled #4. I clean it out and see if I can get it started without any parts besides a battery.

Today I look back on all the videos of Barn Sprite #2 from finding it to new video of it being loaded on the trailer to the new owner.
Today I reassemble the 948cc A-Series Engine for Barn Sprite #5.
I am selling my 1961 Austin Healey Sprite (also known as Barn Sprite #2) on eBay and if you would like to own this great car click on the link below.

Today I take apart the 948cc A-Series engine that is going into Barn Sprite #5. It has been sitting around for years outside the car and is no longer the original color. What will I find out about it when I take it apart?
Today I attempt to get Barn Sprite #2 driving by cleaning the carburetors and putting in a new master cylinder and clutch slave cylinder.
Last round I found the starter that I was using needed rebuilt to be good enough to reliably turn the engine over. I now have the starter fix and installed and ready to see if the engine will now run.
Last round I found the engine was stuck and without a driveshaft I could not break the engine free. Today I install the missing driveshaft, deal with more surprise missing parts, and again see if the Sprite will run.
Racing video from my 1967 Austin Mini Cooper S in the 2012 HVR Showboat Showdown at Motorsports Park Hastings with the HVR. This race was held on Sunday September 9th 2012 during the NASA and HVR race weekend. This was my first time racing my then fairly new to me Cooper S.
