as you search for a great example... now, you can learn all you need to know
before you go shopping... with this fun and entertaining DVD!
I’m David Silberkleit. Since 1979, I’ve owned the Bugeye
featured on these pages. I’ve kept this wonderful vehicle because every year
there are fewer and fewer on the road and each year it just gets more special.
After almost 30 years of marriage with this car, I’ve learned a thing or two
about their proper care and feeding. In fact, I’ve disassembled and rebuilt
just about every square inch of this vehicle... I know Bugeyes inside and out...
and I know how to do them right. On this new 60 - minute DVD, I’ll show you
what to watch out for if you are shopping for a used Sprite so you can maximize
your enjoyment and minimize your expense. While these are simple cars, if you
don't know what you are looking for, you can get badly burned by a Sprite that
would be better put out to pasture. Remember, these cars were made almost 50
years ago. Many have rusted. Others have been poorly restored by amateurs. I've
created this DVD so that you can learn what to watch out for so that you don't
up with a used car disaster!
We’ll walk through every inch of the vehicle... I’ll show
you rust vulnerabilities... structural vulnerabilities, mechanical upgrades and
drivability secrets so you can enjoy your new Bugeye in a wide range of
conditions. And by the way, the photo above shows the battery tray on a friend's
Bugeye. The long oval hole is for warm air from the heater box (removed) and the
rust hole is to the left of the top of this hole. The hole would normally be
concealed by the heater box and battery and this is a very common place for
Bugeyes to rust. Nothing too serious and a very easy fix, especially with a
small hole like this one. But you'll want to make sure this tray isn't
completely gone on your new Bugeye... otherwise the battery might just end up on
your lap!
Here’s an excerpt from “So
you’re thinking of buying a Bugeye Sprite?”that
describes a problem that can be much more serious:
And that’s just the beginning... I cover every square inch
in this DVD program. For example:
Do you know what to watch out for if you upgrade to front disk brakes?
Do you know which portion of the Bugeye, if rusted, makes a Bugeye useful only as an anchor for a small boat?
Do you know which engine you should have in your classic?
Do you know how to make a Bugeye weather tight?... Keep it
in the garage on a rainy day! (just kidding, the top and side curtains work
reasonably well if you install them properly... I’ll show you how)
On this new DVD,I answer these questions and more!
We walk through correct interior set- up. Switches,
gauges, seats, spare tire & jack, carpeting and every little detail to make
your car fun, safe and correctly restored so that it looks like it did when it
rolled out of the factory. I’ll also review all the mechanicals with you... carburetion, engine size, transmission options, rear end ratios... it’s all
here!
I’ll also show you safety improvements (field tested on my car)
as well as the secrets of making your Bugeye into a functional highway cruiser.
In fact, here’s a clip the shows one of my favorite Bugeye
secrets that might even save your life!
Let me help you leverage my experience and history with my Sprite to save you
countless hours of aggravation!!!
This DVD will help you buy the best specimen and potentially save you
thousands of dollars. Learn how to spot a great restorable classic and how to
avoid the rats. Order this DVD today... and you’ll learn all the secrets for a
great marriage... (at least with your new Bugeye)!
Door Pillar. Trouble spot!
Don't be the owner of one more un-driveable British car
sitting in a garage or (worse) front yard because it needs costly welding or
repairs. Get a car you can enjoy with no expensive surprises! This DVD can save
you huge headaches and it's available now for $64.97, less than the price of just
one hour of labor from a good restoration shop.
This DVD will save you countless "boat
payments" (and parts bills) that you might make to your local car
shop(s) if you buy a poor example.
