We love convertibles, but not too much sun. So we developed a practical way to drive a Bugeye Sprite on the hottest of days without melting in the cockpit. Our Bugeye String Bikini is the answer. It covers just enough to shield you and your passenger from the sun and still give you that convertible feel, with abundant air flow. If you have been out on a boat with a bimini top, this is a similar product that shields you from the sun but also works when you are moving along at a good clip.This new product fastens to the front of your windshield like a Bugeye bar-type top (call if you have an early 9 stud windshield and we’ll make one for you). Use your own front bar from your convertible top or we can sell you one if you need it. We’ve also installed the two front lift dot fasteners so you can simply whip out your bikini and fit it to your car. Web straps allow you to tension the back section. It fits neatly over any Bugeye top bows as shown. You’ll need the original rear top bar hooks to fasten the “D” rings to the back deck of your car. (We have those in stock too if you need them.)
Black pebble grain vinyl top material is standard. Other colors are available. Call or email with your color choices!

We are delighted to introduce a new solution that makes Bugeye Sprite ownership possible for a whole new population of enthusiasts. If you have been longing for a Bugeye but have been concerned that you might not fit, or are worried that loss of dexterity limits your ability to get in and out of a Bugeye, this removable steering wheel is a great innovation. With the wheel out of the way, large drivers can now get in with ease.
Many of our clients big and small have found memories of jumping into a Bugeye in their teenage years. But with joint replacements much more common these days, we can all use a bit easier way in and out of our little British cars. This is an elegant solution. We’ve custom made two Bugeyes five inches longer for clients with joint issues. This is a much simpler and less expensive solution for most people, because with the wheel out of the way, it is quite easy to climb in. The kit includes the hubs needed to fit the interlocking pieces to your Sprite, along with a stunning MOMO leather wheel. The kit comes standard with a 13 inch wheel for the roomiest cockpit. Other sizes and wood wheels are also available. Call to make steering wheel substitutions. But the MOMO wheel as shown works great.
Too often, Bugeye license plates are screwed directly to the rear bodywork, often damaging the paint in the process. And when the cars change ownership someone has to go into the trunk to manage any nuts and/or through bolts that fall into the cracks and recesses of your dark boot. So we designed permanent stud system to be affixed to the back of each car to make license plate mounting a snap.
