Probably should have posted this in the Vintage Forum since a lot of you probably have never heard of the bug eyed Austin Healy.

Looks cool, although it won't have the backfire on shift that was the signature of the bug-eyed Sprite.

That is sweet, I like the simplicity of the car, just an engine and a little shell.

You have to love bug eye Sprites. That's one of the first sports cars I ever had a ride in.

That has to be nothing but fun

Fantastic build! It needs either some fuzzy dice or a raccoon tail to match the skull shifter

Anyone notice the start button above and to the left of the steering wheel?
