What Frank said, plus chrome window cranks and interior door handles, and
color offset seat piping went away soon after.
I should add that I was not serious in my previous post. I will not
change the look of a Bugeye :-) But I do like the look of the Healey
prototype (Mk2 front, Bugeye rear).
I do prefer the look of a sidescreen Spridget to the look of my car, but I
get rained on a lot, so I am not complaining about my roll-up windows.
