Title: 61 original Austin bugeye sprite visit.
Post by: dakazman on Saturday,September 02, 2023, 03:29:24 PM

   A friend of mine stopped over with another British sports car guy with an all original sprite. Amazing shape and lack of rust.  This was also my first ride in a British car when I was 16 .

It was years before I saw a Bugeye that wasn’t a race car. Does this one go faster if you turn the key more?

Sweet little Frog-Eye. I always fancied one of these in experienced, unrestored condition.

Could he fit a small battery in the base with a motor in it so the key turns while he's driving....
