Old English White Bugeye on E-Bay

[59diamond]

I spotted this Bugeye on E-bay and am curious what the group thinks about it.
I am not interested in buying it as I already have one, but I am interested in what people think.

I like the chopped windshield. The seat, grille, and headlight covers I find a bit cheesy. Can easily be brought back to stock....looks to be a solidcar

Wow, someone had a really neat vision for this Bugeye. While not all to my taste I find it well done and the seats are a good solution for some of the bigger guys out there. I guess the only thing that bothers me is the 1/4" steel plate floors and inner sills, but done properly that may not matter. I think his price is a little low, but he knows his car better than I do.

Wow, sold to someone. I looked at the pictures when I went back to read the description it was sold.

I figured it would probably go fast at that price. I especially thought the paint job was well done

 

[59diamond]

it looks like he also has a Triumoh for sale.

Up-armored Bugeye.

The two steering wheels were a bit odd...

The seat could work, I'd love to try it. I'm 6'1" and a Bugeye is always a little bit of a challenge for me. :grin:

How did I miss the two wheels? Only time I've seen that was a big Healey that came up on eBay a few years ago with a second wheel so it would look like the owner's chimpanzee was driving the car. Story is pretty hilarious and well worth the read: https://books.google.com/books?id=8...gazine austin healey monkey chimpanzee&f=true

I do like the 'Speedster' windscreen and I've got an extra frame and set of uprights...hmmmm.

Jenny and I joke about getting her a dummy steering wheel so we can freak out people in our RHD cars. Something like this:
