On the Surface: The 2018 Sebring MX Cabriolet is a Guernsey registered car. It is reminiscent of classic Austin-Healey 3000 sports cars from the late 1950s and 1960s. Its Metallic Red finish contrasts nicely with the cream leather interior. The canvas hood, neatly stowed in the boot is also a handy feature.

Maintenance: Built to a very good standard, this Sebring MX Cabriolet boasts not only great aesthetics but also solid performance. The car comes with the complete BMW bookpack from the donor car which holds the service book. The service book contains 4 stamps between 2005 and 2014

History: The extensive history file accompanying this Sebring MX Cabriolet makes for good reading. The folder holds information, including wiring instructions, build manuals, DVSA Vehicle approval guides, and details about the donor car—a 2000 BMW 330i. Comprehensive documentation, including a photographic record, show the transformation of this car from a chassis to the final product.

The Model: Sebring Works (formerly Sebring Sports Cars) werep previously a kit car company that supplied kits and built a range of  sports cars using fibreglass bodywork, with the styling reminiscent of the classic Austin-Healey 3000 sports cars produced between 1959 and 1967 and the Porsche 356 (coupe and speedster). Sebrings are now exclusively factory built in Long Marston, Warwickshire.

The name derives from the Sebring International Raceway in the USA, at which Austin-Healey cars were very successful.

This Sebring is powered by a BMW 330i 3 litre engine under the bonnet, producing a spirited 228 HP, this pocket rocket promises an exhilarating driving experience.

Sale Insight: This Sebring MX Cabriolet presents an enticing opportunity for Austin Healey 3000 fans to pick up a replica at a snip of a price of a real one. With reportedly nearly £50,000 invested in its creation and maintenance, this car represents exceptional value for enthusiasts. Just in time for summer, this offering promises endless enjoyment.
