61 original Austin bugeye sprite visit.
« 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.

The Twin Cam plays the symphony whilst my right foot conducts the orchestra. At 3800 rpm the Mad Pipe Organ joins in.

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