A friend of mine is selling his 59 Bugeye, just posting this here because I know there are a Few Brit car people here. He's owned for about 40 years.

And to think I could have had one of those for $300 back in the 60s. ::)

Sharp car, should be a lot of fun for someone.
I can't look at one though, without thinking (to paraphrase Dave Barry) that it ought to be the star of a series of children's books with titles like "Buster the Car Goes to Town."

I drove 1 w/the original 948cc motor in `61. Boy was it gutless! Power wise comparable to my buddy's `52 MGTD. :D

Owned one for for about 6 years back in the 80's, tons of fun.
Went with the ex as it had been her dads.
A few years later it was offered to me but didn't need another connection.

That is funny to read. I was looking at them in the early 70's. I'm 6'5" and after I sat in the first one I realized that was that. 36" inseam just wasn't going to work those pedals.

I love those gravel strainer air cleaners!

Nice. Now I miss my 71 Midget and 69 B-GT. BRG and Saphire Blue, respectively.
