[Jim Wojcik]

dear list, here is info about a bugeye available in the Twin Cities MN area.
No financial interest. I drove the car, and it seems in good condition. Needs
a few things that seem within grasp of most LBC owners. Jim Wojcik

Hi Barb/Jim:



Thanks for the voice mail.  We're out at the Washington County Fair with our
concession trailer, so just got a little time this morning to send this to
you.  Have attached pictures also.



Tidbits:  Car is basically 95% restored. I bought the car 5 years ago from a
guy by the name of Charlie Brown in Prior Lake.  He had spent over $4500 in
updates, fixing, new carpet, wiring harness, etc on it before I bought it.
Since then, I have done the following:



New brakes, clutch, starter, driver's seat, paint job (2005)(Kiss's Auto Body
in Newport), tune up, etc. Have seat back and covers for passenger seat. Have
all the records from the previous owner, as well as the costs that I have
incurred.  Lot's of work at Quality Coaches in Mpls.



The car has two tops, soft and hard top.  Hard top is hanging in my garage and
I have never put it on.  Also have side windows for soft and hard top.



Also has tonneau cover, for use when not using either of the tops. I have two
soft covers to cover car when in storage.  Only have put about 250 miles on
car since I purchased it.  Basically, due to our busy schedule, it sits in my
garage for 3 months during the summer and in an inside rented storage
builiding for the other 9 months



Have numerous extra parts, ie; 3 rims & two tires, starter, badge bar, brake
drums, and other parts which I don't have a clue, etc.



Don't have a need for the car anymore and don't have the time to enjoy it.
Would make a nice car for someone who has the time and enjoys British cars.



Asking $9500, have way more than that into it, but that's my problem.



Open to offers , or some kind of trade???  Nice gift for someone special.



Thanks for your help on this and please keep in touch.



Regards,



Pat Sinclair
