    Re: my Austin Healey Sprite MK1 1960

    Thanks for the pix Ferdie. Your Bugeye is quite nice! I was at Sebring this past weekend to watch the historic races. There were a couple of Bugeyes and a newer Sprite (are you familiar with the name "Spridget")running. I got so excited, I started looking at advertisements for old race cars today and a Sprite seems to be a relatively inexpensive way to go. There were also a zillion 911's, quite a few 914's, a few 356's, 944's and even a 956. Of course, there were Jags, Lotus's, Lola's, etc. It was great fun.

    the spridgets are the Austin Healey Sprite's MK2-MK3 and the MG Midgets MK1-MK4. But my Bugeye is a Healey MK1!
    My Bugeye is the on of the loudest Bugeye in europe! Louder than a Ferrari or Porsche!!!

    Beautiful car!
    Those old Austin Healeys have so much character.
    You're very fortunate.
