Spridgeteers,
Like many of you, I've owned LBC's over thirty years. It's a love/hate
relation we live with.
But I've got to tell you...my TR8 is such an enjoyment to drive I could
(well, not really) not spend another hour behind the wheel of a Bugeye.
According to recent articles in the past two issues of Hemmings "Sports &
Exotics", they are a car you should own; ten cars selected. The Bugeye was
one of the ten as well, so was the Tiger. Don't recall the others.
The car has power; excellent steering; comfortable seating; adequate leg
room...and...air conditioning (on most cars). Which makes it a great car
for trips, IMHO.
Overall, I have to say, it's one of the best handling cars I've
owned...period; Porsche & Corvettes included.
There have been a couple on ebay recently, one gorgeous black FHC with a
flawless body; $8,500.00.
Check 'em out, you won't be disappointed. I've been living with mine now
for seven years. Used it as my daily driver through two winters and three
summers.
Don't wait too long on buying one, they are rapidly appreciating!
Ask Jon P, he's a 'cross-driver' (in love with his E-Type).
