Jay,
Two cars
60 Bugeye, 61 MkII - Both cars 948/Twin SU/Original Master
cylinder/points/oil filter/radiator/and smoothcase trannies on the 145
tires. I love these cars.
I also get to drive a tricked out Bugeye 1275/big Cam/ported head/LCB/5
Speed/Weber/Shock conversion/Low profile tires. It's fun but a traffic
ticket waiting to happen with me behind the wheel.
So It's not like I'm lost in the past or anything. I just like em the way
they built them.

>(That's Philly Talk). With all due respect to those owners that constantly
seek to modify and improve their Sprites for daily use, are there any owners
"lurking" out there that maintain their cars as they were run in "their
day"?

dual-line braking systems, etc. etc. etc. etc.?

or an Austin smoothcase on a 948?
