Love my Little Bugeye! If you can get your hands on one of these old bugeyes, they are terrific. My father and I restored his (bought in the 60's and he drove it to work every day). Fun easy restoration project for a beginner. See you on the road!

It's on aero screens, silver with red leather and carpets. Super (too much) tune 1380 engine with a 45 DCOE Webber and no exhaust to speak of. Wire wheels, old fashioned tyres, quarter elliptic rear springs. All means LOTS of oversteer, turn in, lift off, power on: It only does one thing. Me and my dear old Dad have spent five years giving it a bare metal resto.. It's very nearly finished and it's a very lovely thing. I worked on it with my Dad and I went to the church in it the day I got married.. Thikn I'll ever let it go?.. Naa.

Who would of thought 60hp would be so fun. The austin healey sprite embodies everything good from a classic sports car. With it's classic timeless looks and amazing handling it is a blast to drive anywhere. It has a low cost of ownership and a huge fun factor.
