A recent trip to the All European Car Show in Melbourne, Florida, netted our Bugeye Sprite a first-place class trophy.

[Something for everyone: the Central Florida All European Car Show]

Interest in the car seemed high as groups gathered around the car all day long. Many had seen the Sprite in the magazine, and as we anticipated, the striking Iris Blue color combined with the Moss Motors supercharger drew the most questions and comments.


While there were a few other nice Midgets/Sprites in the class, the popular choice trophy went our way this time. While not a national show, by any means, the award was appreciated. More importantly, it was fun to share the car at a public event.

Very nice.   Congratulations.   Love the color and forward tilting front.

It must be a relief to know that, notwithstanding Brexit, LBCs can still go to an "All European" car show.
