Manuals, driver’s handbook, selection of booksThe Frogeye is a real drivers car, although the engine is small, as you are so low, you feel as though you are in touch with the road whatever speed you are doing. With no synchro on first and second gear you have to concentrate to downshift, but very satisfying when you get it right. When ever I get home after a drive, I always have a big smile on my face. Nearly all the parts are available and the car is quite simple to work on, either a great intro to classic cars or the next step if you want to see how your parents or grandparents used to have fun.
