BUGEYE Registry

Check out this "Bugeye" (in quotes for a reason). Not sure what to think about it.

VIN seems invalid, unless I am missing something. Could be an erroneous VIN placard.

Check out the shot of the wheel where in plain view is a missing lug nut.

Doesn't look in bad shape though. Daurie, do you know this vehicle?

Don't know why, but it looks like the snorkel is hooked up to the fan intake for the heater.

If there is no heater (or a different one) sometimes folks run the snorkel through there to avoid cutting any metal.

Or the guy likes non-dusty air heating the cabin of his Rover

Bugeye,

Thanks for your enthusiasm and your information.

Put down the whole VIN. It is located on the placard in the dash or yes, on the side of the horn, on your frame. The updated list is on the first entry in this post. Give me all of your information, and please post some pics, and I will get the list updated.

Thanks again,
Gary

[Rineheitzgabot]

Bug,

You are right. You can just give me the last four of the VIN. Yes, please get pics.

What do you mean by "use", in reference to the logo?

Mine has the factory drive flanges on the front. Locking hubs are a common option/accessory. Everyone has their preference/favorites. I wouldn't say one is more 'correct' than another.

thank you
i thought the hubs might indicate the production date

The current logo is designed for forum use only at this point. Stay tuned, there is something in the very near future to satisfy your "personal use" needs
