  • Job Well Done!!! Have to say that I've been waiting for post Conclave updates. We went to Carlisle in 1988 for the 30th anniversary of the Bugeye!!... back in the 80's I met Jay Fishbein from Wallingford ct. He had many Bugeye Sprites in his Collection.

  • I would have thought that the earliest production versions of the car would have been right hand drive with U.S. speck versions coming some time later. Superb job on both. Well done

  • It's interesting that the first car produced was a left hand drive. I guess they were really focused on exporting.
