Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Just the best Bugeye Sprite in the world. Superb cosmetics, obsessively restored with mostly NOS parts to way beyond perfect. A Meadow Brook and Eyes on the Classics show car. Beautiful paint, interior and chrome, Q tipped in all its crevasses and impossible to fault.

Market commentary

The owner, who acknowledged he went way overboard on this Bugeye, has something like double the high bid in this beyond perfect piece. That does not, however, make it worth any more than a Bugeye: $17 18,000 in the most perfect of condition. It goes home to rejoin its Healey siblings in the consignors garage, valued more than money ... or garage space.
