[Spridgets] Bizarre Bugeye Bonnet

[David Booker]

Testa-Rugeye?   Looks pretty obviously based on / inspired by the
pontoon-federed Ferrari Testa Rossa from 1957 (250TR?).  I think the original
idea was to facilitate brake cooling. I personally don't care for the look on
a 
Bugeye, but certainly prefer it to an Arkley...

The
snout on the Sprite reminds me of the Moal Coachbuilders Gatto on 
the
Autoblog site (autoblog.com). A second cousin twice removed resemblance.

Sorry, Ed. It's too early to do TinyURL.
