[Spridgets] "This is a highly modified 1961 Austin Healy (Bug Eye)

[Chris Manuel]

Not to make light of this misfortune, (someone put a few hours in this one)
but makes you wonder what caused the collision...at least there's no cracks
in the windshield or malformed steering wheel if you get what I mean.

Those cars, however, were RHD CKD units and were NOT shipped to the USA. 
Since cars here are titled according to the year the car was sold rather 
than the year it was manufactured, there are many "rare 1961 Bugeyes" in 
this country, NONE of which were "manufactured in 1961" as this dude claims.
