Our latest Super Sprite is now in the garage of the guy below (“Cliff”). It’s a spectacular car and a great new home. But what struck me most about the journey of this car is the journey of the new owner.
When he came to pick up the car, he presented this photo below from the 60s:
We’ve seen this sort of photo before, since many of our customers grew up with “a Bugeye moment” at some point in their life. But for Cliff, what was immediately apparent because of the way he was beaming with this picture in hand (below), is that this photo represents a time when he had little, a moment of life “before.” Before family, before career, before the arc that would define him.
And for Cliff, (and for all of us vicariously), these little cars complete a powerful loop. That was then. I was starting out. Now, I have won some, lost some, and worked hard on the arc of my life.
No ordinary Bugeye Sprite would suffice to commemorate Cliff’s great ride! Thank you, Cliff, and congratulations!
As far as the car is concerned, this is also a special story. We have upgraded this wonderful car even further per Cliff’s request… we’ve added rear disk brakes, red calipers, blacked-out tonneau fittings, a USB charger and a flip-up fuel cap, all to customize Cliff’s Bugeye just a bit more, and to build-out this particular celebration.
Celebrate with us!
Check out the many subtle details that went into “Gray” in the slideshow and walk-around video below, so you can see its final configuration.
We have more cars coming soon that are not yet spoken for; feel free to give us a call if you want us to build your own custom Bugeye, to your unique specs, to complete your story arc or to satisfy your bucket list!
