    Superb! Not so happy to took a car from here in Australia, though; you can’t go taking our treasures when we need them here! 😀.

    I would have thought that the earliest production versions of the car would have been right hand drive with U.S. speck versions coming some time later. Superb job on both.
    Well done

    Job Well Done!!! Have to say that I've been waiting for post Conclave updates. We went to Carlisle in 1988 for the 30th anniversary of the Bugeye!!... back in the 80's I met Jay Fishbein from Wallingford ct. He had many Bugeye Sprites in his Collection.

    Gorgeous cars in their own right. I love The Gumbi as a great interpretation. So cool. The 501 is beautiful too. Wow.

  • @drewpierce2273

    Excellent. I'm curious if at any point in the judging if you had to defend the accuracy of your restoration of 501?

    Gumby looks like a mini Aston Martin DBR1 in that colour.Nice job on both cars-Straight cut gear box I presume?

    It's interesting that the first car produced was a left hand drive. I guess they were really focused on exporting.

  • @jefflemon7382

    I love both cars, room for both types in the collector car world. What was 501s score? What earned deductions?

    ... very nice examples. I can see you have struggled with the wonky factory panel fit. That bit is almost impossible to correct.

  • @georged4558

    I had a Michael Jackson bobble-head, on my dash. People called my car a child rapist. I should have bought a Gumby.
