I loved this short video for the works car that is going up for auction RM Auction May 14 in Monaco:

That video looks to be fun! Between the engine heat and the snow, one's feet are probably at a comfortable temperature.

Used to drive my bugeye on snow like that in high school. But it was the only car I had. Wouldn't dream of it now. Great post. Thanks.

A bug-eye was our only car for a couple of years, in the mid-70s, here in Calgary. When I was a student in Edmonton in the late 60s (sorry - I took engineering, so missed the sixties), one of my classmates' only vehicle, summer and winter, was his Bug-Eye. In our graduating year, the city set a record: 26 consecutive days, in January, where the highest temperature was -21C/-6F. He was from Calgary, and he commuted the plus 3 hour drive for four years in his BE. Doug

The video was thrilling and I appreciated the fact that the owner agreed to fling around a car in the snow he was about to auction for $300,000. I hope the new owner keeps using it as was intended.

My immediate reaction to seeing this great video is that this is a REAL Healey. What God and Donald intended.
