I am forwarding an intriguing post that appeared on the Bugeye Yahoo
list. Hopefully the person who posted it will be able to track down the
owner of "Sir Ed" so he can pass on earlier photographs of the car.
My dad had a 1958 Bug-eyed Sprite that he took apart when I was born
and swore he would have back together by the time I was old enough
to drive. It was still in pieces when he died in 1990. I sold it in
1990 or 1991 to my dad's friend Donny, who restored it and put
license plates on it that said "Sir Ed", in tribute to my dad. I
have since lost track of Donny and the car, but was recently going
through my dad's vacation slides and have photos of this car touring
the German wine country and Belgium, all through the United States
and Mexico. I would like to pass some of these photos and history on
to the current owner. If you have any information, please respond to
this post.
