Keith’s Blog: Bye-Bye Bugeye

By on in Blogs, Keith Martin

As I wrote in my last column, I have decided that it is time for the SCM Austin-Healey Bugeye Sprite to go. I’ll be sad to see it leave, as we have done so much to make it exactly the excellent driver that we wanted.

At the same time, chances are it will go to a new home — one where it is a better fit in someone’s collection.

I’ve asked Matt Crandall at Avant-Garde Collection to sell the car for us on Bring A Trailer. His company always does a great job presenting the cars they sell.

Here’s a link to the listing.

    Keith – saw your bugeye on bat – really love it! Any idea if there is a way to lower the ride height? Or, is it best to leave as is?
    Great car, Dave
