Not sure how many of you remember a certain '65 BRG with Dual Stripes with a Glass BE Bonnet from years gone by. Featured a Turbo Mazda 323 Motor and 5 Speed from a special Mazda Rally Car. I dreamed about this car while owning my first Sprite a '68 with a BE Bonnet. And absolutely fabulous build including a narrowed RX-7 Rear End. Well that same car rebuilt for 2021 is now on BAT. The Turbo Mazda 323 motor has been replaced with a well massaged Miata Motor and Turbocharged as well. Miata 5 or 6 Speed. 4 Wheel Wildwood Discs, the RX-7 Rear End and all kinds of other very, very trick stuff. Oh and did I mention that this Sprite pulls 263 RW HP on the Dyno. Wow. Take a look while it lasts. 5 days to go. I would consider trading Bugsy on this one.
 
Very impressive.
 
Sold for 30k. Wow.
 
If they could figure out a way to manufacture those they'd sell like hot cakes!
 
And we'd probably have a whole lot less of us around to enjoy driving our BE's and Spridgets.
