If you’ve been following us, you know that I’m passionate about Bugeyes and for 20 years we’ve expressed that passion in a quest to build the perfect car (could Sage be that car?).
I’m also passionate about riding horses. Riding has been a fantastic source of fitness for me and I really enjoy the analog nature of horsemanship. I’m familiar with operating a lot of mechanical machines, but operating a horse with mastery is an amazing challenge.
That’s Abe, a 2001 thoroughbred cross (1 horsepower) in the picture above checking out Sage, one of our finest bugeyes ever. In the video below about Sage, you can see my passion for horses and my passion for Bugeyes, both brought to life!
Many of our Test drives for Quality happen on my trip to And from the Barn. Here you can see one of those quality assurance (and personal fitness) test drives!
This is one of the best we have ever built and it’s for sale. Wool carpet, custom leather hides and all the right performance mods… check it out!
Sage is chassis number AN5L 4337, a 1958 Bugeye production number for a car that was first titled in 1959, as was common back in the day. The Door tags show BAE 4561 and AN5 04231, both correct and in range with the chassis number, as was the norm when these cars were built (see photo gallery). The car comes with a New Jersey title which records the proper chassis number, AN5L 4337.
Sage has the best of everything, in a spectacular color combination. The car is a winner in every way. Check out the new photos! If you don’t care what it costs and you only want the ultimate interpretation of this wonderful Bugeye platform, then Sage is for you!
Call if you want to be the talk of the town, with this ultimate Bugeye. Check out a fun driving video below!
Sage is a complete rotisserie restoration, with four-wheel disc brakes, five speed Ford transmission, and a powerful 1380 Oselli engine worth about 95 HP. The exhaust note is delicious and the car is quite quick.
We drew from nearly 20 years of experience to build the best of everything into this car and then we went off the map with colors and textures to create a stunning completely restored car for a premium driving experience.
The interior is both elegant and utilitarian. The exterior is contemporary and nostalgic at the same time. The driving experience is simultaneously classic, high performance and forgiving. Check out part two of our driving video, showcasing Sage in all its glory!
This is the first car we have built with wool square weave carpet and we love the look so much that we made this carpet kit a product in our parts catalog.
If you want the best of the best and you want serious “wow” factor at the next cars and coffee, then Sage could be the next car to add to your stable. Click “read more” for more photos and give a call if you are interested!
