We used to own a Frogeye as one of the first three cars we hired out when we setup The Open Road. Interesting little car, very close to the ground, superb roadholding and great steering. But very little power and the drum brakes leaved a bit to be desired.

The first day's hire we ever did as The Open Road was to an American who flew his girlfriend over to take out our Frogeye on Valentine's Day 1998 and ask his girlfriend to marry him. He wrote up his trip and this is on our web site at http://www.theopenroad.co.uk/static_28.htm


So cute and one to stir the romantic juices, but a bit under powered and under braked.

Have a '67ish Sprite (see at http://www.littlebritishcar.co.uk/)
-- not quite as cool as the bugeye, but every big as much fun to drive. Cannot stress how low to the ground you are -- and how narrow the vehicle is. When I come to speed bumps with a "split" in the middle, I can usually drive through the split without hitting either bump!
