Built and raced by an ex-March Formula One engineer whose son works for the Ferrari Formula One team in Maranello, you’d expect ‘85 BCE’ to be well sorted. And quick.
Which it is. This Austin Healey Race Championship Sprite is “still good for 110mph!” after having set lap records all over the UK and been raced throughout Europe.
Now modified for the road and last used at Goodwood in June 2023, it’s still got 152bhp at the driver’s disposal. The owner drove it from his home in the New Forest to us, which further points to the car’s usability and reliability.
Prepare to be amazed at how much hard-won experience and expertise is available for such a small outlay; if you’re looking for a multipurpose classic sportscar in which you’re almost certainly going to be the weakest link, this is it.
