GarageScout Take
The long Arizona ownership and 2010-20 refurbishment give this Mk IV a traceable history, with the engine rebuild, clutch, soft top, and interior work all documented as part of the same period. The bodywork beneath the British Racing Green repaint, an exempt odometer status, and unverified five-digit mileage are the qualifications.
Strengths
- Factory Mk IV Sprite with its 1,275cc engine and dual SU carburetors.
- Refurbishment included an engine rebuild, clutch replacement, bodywork, repaint, soft top, bumpers, carpeting, and interior retrim.
- Arizona-to-Pacific Northwest ownership history, followed by estate acquisition in 2020.
- Wisconsin title in the seller’s name.
Watch For
- The body received work before the British Racing Green repaint.
- The Wisconsin title lists the odometer status as “Exempt” and body style as “Unknown.”
- The five-digit odometer reading is approximately 61,000 miles, with mileage not independently verified.
