Hi, George
Where did you see that Megasprite advertised to obtain a brochure? Have you
copied it to a website? If so, can you let me know the URL? I was trying to
contact the Frogeye Car Co about 10 days back and the number was not listed
with British Telecom, which suggests they might've gone out of business.
Island Plastics make a truly outstanding motorcaravan conversion on the
Renault Trafic van and as both IPI and Frogeye Car Co are/were(?) on the
Isle of Wight (an island about the size of your thumbnail,) it occurs to me
that IPI might have bought the Bug eye 'manufacturing rights'
Regards
John Macartney
