BUGEYE Registry

[Rineheitzgabot]

I don't know of the comic redfox. The i.d. has to do with my wife.
The list includes a column for the "Source" from which the vin # came.
Your vehicle was on eBay on the date listed.
I have had 14 or so Land Rovers in various states of condition and when I decided on my "final" project I choose the Bugeye for the unique detail.
I started tracking Bugeye vin #s some years ago and have contacted the people selling or buying when possible. So the list has a little background for some #s and no info for others. It's been a hobby and I actually corresponded with a guy in Holland, where some Bugeyes were shipped.

David,

I bought mine off of ebay in '07. The PO must have got it that way, as well.

That list sounds like a lot of work. I very much look forward to seeing your list; that is, if you are willing to share it . I will forward you an article that JSBriggs sent me about Bugeyes. It is very informative.

Red Foxx, is a comic from the '70's. He was the father in the series called, "Sanford and Son". Brilliant comic!

As for RedFoxx, I have a disc of some of his early material if anyone is interested. I bought it while working on the show "Everybody Hates Chris"

I'm just cleaning up the list so it's legible. My daughters claim I'm technologically challenged.
I certainly want to share it so we can update locations and info.

List Attachment attempt

OK

I editted and updated my list (26 #s) which is an XL Spread sheet. I work on my old computer so I do not know how old a version it is.
I transferred it to this, my wife's computer which needed a different program, WordPerfect, sooooooooo let me know if you can read any of it.

I am anxious to get feedback and update of the limited info I have. Some of the Vins with out "Source" may have come from LRX over the years.


How the hell do I attach this file????????????????

I have a 'bug eye'; for 20 years now because bought it in 1989 and restored it between 1992-97. It was my first car and for the moment my only... Originally it was painted mid-grey and I will restore her once again in the next 5-10 years, probably.



I've started a Flanders/Dutch Series forum two months ago; I'll post a link.

Cheers,

69 Bugeye

I live in Las Vegas and recently aquired a 1969 Series IIa Bugeye. (My first vintage Land Rover. I currently drive a 2008 LR3)
It is #24435411F.
Will be doing some research and then deciding what to do with the truck. Not sure if I want to just overhaul the mechanicals and leave the body alone or go for a full resto.

SoCal Bugeye

I have a 1969 Land Rover Series IIA - Bugeye VIN # 24436228F. It was originally purchased with the safari top and ambulance door which has since been removed to accomodate the warm and sunny climate of Southern California. I have the original manufacturing date, color, and port of shipment from the British Motor Heritage Trust.

IMHO I would overhaul the mechanics and leave the body for now if everything is pretty straight and there are no rust issues. This way you get to use the truck a bit quicker than with a full restoration and there is something cool about a nice original truck with faded paint.

Any chance at bigger pics? Where in SoCal are you?

Image Re-size

I just corrected the image size and uploaded larger images. I can post more if your interested. I live in Irvine and work in Newport Beach. I've only seen one other Land Rover Series in the area. A red 109 in Laguna Beach.

[LaneRover]

Very nice.

Is the canvas sitting in the back or did you have a 'load bed' tonneau cover made?

I am in San Diego with frequent trips to LA for work.
