I'm sure this is how Donald would have developed the Bugeye...

[Legal Bill]

I've heard that statement so many times about so many modified Healeys that I'm starting to think Donald has been talking to people from beyond the grave. Anyway, i thought about that line as I looked at this e-bay ad. I'm sure Donald didn't think of this at all.

Interesting that it's titled as a 60, as that's a later tub. A bitsa for sure.

Still, while it's not my thing I bet it's a hoot. Quite possibly deadly too.

I figured you would. It'd be a blast in a straight line, that's for sure. Might not even kill you.

It's a human fly swatter; you punch it and it'll swing over back'ards and smash ya flat. layful:

While it's not my taste in Spridget modifications, the wonderful thing about Spridgets are that they are still numerous enough that we can have incredibly wild modifications like this and no one will lament that a presumably original car got cut-up to make the creation.

A. Looks like the love child of a Bugeye & a Triumph Herald.

B. Healey would only have designed that car if he had had a torrid affair with Elvira, Mistress of the Dark!

Now, THAT is something. Nice that they are avoiding "performance" test's till they fit a roll bar!!

there is a very good reason the car is for sale. the only purpose in life for that vehicle is conversation.

I totally disagree... I own something very very similar and it's more than conversation, I loved driving with a blower through the hood of my little sprite, it was just too much. There are days I wish I would have kept it through the hood... And I daily drove it, here once the ice melts mine will be daily driven again, though under a boss 429 scoop... If I could take you for a ride in mine, that was around 450 hp at the wheels with 6 lbs of boost, you would compare every car after that ride... to that ride. I'm fighting the urge to put the 406 on the engine stand into the sprite now...

its probably for for sale because it's not someone's cup of tea or they are too old to mess with it.

I had a bug eye with stock 289 C4 set up which would be mild compared to this or yours, Your last sentence sums it up pretty well, I too old for that type of car so sold it. Oh to be young again

Well, I knew i'd get plenty of opinions here.
