The Midget look-a-like, is why both were commonly called 'Spridgets.' The sprite was a slightly upscale version. This has the 1275 cc four cylinder that now turned out an amazing 65 bhp. Sound low, well the old ones only had 59 bhp. Very nice restoration. Got a roll bar in case it ever goes SCCA Solo II.
The bug-eye! Spartan as they come. No carpets no nuthin. Just a steel tub with a couple of seats and a top. Another total restoration, new grille to boot. New 1250cc Four with tiny twin SU carbs. Like the Lotus Seven, your head is a little over the windscreen, so it's like riding a motorcycle. In England, they are Frog-Eyes, probably in honor of Toad.
