I assume one of the following--either you are very slender, or you have
not actually driven your brother's bugeye. The bugeye and the Mark II
Sprite/Mark I Midget have side curtains. The spaces inside the upper
doors are perfect for elbows; in effect these cars are about 4 or 5
inches wider inside than their wind up window successors. The bugeye
also has thinner seat backs than later spridgets (unless some dpo has
switched seats), which translates into increased legroom.
