Austin Healey Sprite Fiberglass Racing Bonnet on 2040-parts.com
Omaha, Nebraska, US
This auction is for the fiberglass racing hood only!! You are not bidding on the car. I was told this is a Thomas Denner hood, and has been on the car since sometime prior to 1976. I have not been able to verify that. Hood needs some minor repairs. One hood prop rusted stuck, and when hood was pulled open the mount was pulled out of the fiberglass, hence the board holding the driver's side of the hood up. 2 little braces inside that don't go anywhere. One crack in the front, both lower edges cracking/separated. No grill (not sure if it ever had one). See pictures. Needs repainted also. No shipping, payment at time of pickup. Is much lighter than the stock steel bonnet, but still at the right height to crack you in the head when you are trying to work on the engine. Contact me with any questions or concerns before bidding.
