This is Joel in Fredericksburg, Texas. I have a '60 Sprite, my second in recent years. Sold the first when we moved to Texas from Pennsylvania but I kept my eyes peeled and eventually found another on eBay. As a young Navy officer back in the early '70s, I briefly had a Sunbeam Alpine before selling it when I got transferred. After retiring from the Navy, I went to McPherson College for their automotive restoration technology program and worked at Ragtops and Roadsters, a British car repair and restoration shop in Perkasie, PA for several years.
The current Bugeye is a work in progress. The previous owner had it painted very nicely in a Mini color, chili red, but didn't do much mechanically. Working now on sorting out various issues, with a long-term goal to replace the 948cc engine with a 1275 after I get the latter rebuilt.
