Vin# 244 36 133F Bugsy. Mostly original 1969 SIIA 88. Located in Portland, Oregon. I am the third owner. From what I have gathered, I am within a few miles of the original owner who purchased it in 1969. I have yet to reach out, but planning to soon. I am sure he would get a kick out of seeing it. British Motor Industry Heritage Trust Certificate number 2023/4071. Date built: March 13th 1969. Despatched March 17th 1969. Dealer: British Leyland, Portland, Oregon, USA. It has always lived in Portland, as far as I know. Owner: Tyler Gourley

Dave, apparently P.O. posted with "Craigslist ad in Spokane, WA"? There is no Kalispell, WA. I purchased the truck in April of 2021 from the owner in Kalispell, MT. This truck has always lived in Montana. All good. Thanks. Mike.

I have focused on a mechanical preservation restoration with some modern updates (Petronix dizzy, Alt, Weber, Wolfs, larger tires, etc.)to make this a solid dependable driver. This truck has spent its entire U.S. life in MT., used for over a decade as a business delivery rig. It is a proud member of Rocky Mnt Rovers group based in Helena, MT.
*Hope this is sufficient info to be listed on the registry. If you need more please direct me on how to provide. Thank you for doing this. mike

New Bugeye

Well, it appears that I am the new owner of vin 24436252F. 1969 Pastel Green, unbelievably original and complete. I have a 1973 Series III and a 1960 Series II so I wasn't really looking, but the originality won me. The chassis is garbage, but it ran with about 30 minutes of work. Last on the road in 1984. The last owner (2nd owner) bought it in 1975. It came with a pretty good spare chassis that the previous owner had sourced, but I have a new galvanized that it might receive. I bought it 1.5 miles from the location of the dealer (dealer has since moved) that sold it new.
