Mine is in one pic (at pink arrow)... placed 3rd (owing to some mods like Minilite wheels).
Adding: I never go expecting to win anything. There are some really mint and original cars at the show every time.
Yes, just under 800 cars (making it one of the largest in the US). Huge numbers of Minis this year (100+), but everything else you can imagine. Oddly, though, only about 5 square-body, later, Sprites.
It does seem that given that the Bugeyes make up a smaller percentage of the total Sprite population, they seem to exist today in totally disproportionate numbers compared to the later models. Heck, I didn't even know there was such a thing as a non-Bugeye Sprite until I came across the one I bought.
I would agree, much the same way the '57 Chevrolet is considered more iconic than the '55 or '56. All three years were fairly similar, but the '57 tends to be considered the icon of 50s Americana.
Yes. I did the Sat. event... Nice very warm day too. Love the Portland event.. so much to see and do. The BE's were in force for sure. There's always a good show of British vehicles... The group that has grown by leaps and bounds in the classic group I think is the Land Rovers of old...The safari ones in particular. Of notice this year for me was a young man racing his BE on a shoe string... What a thrill to see!! new blood...Love it...

I agree. The Rovers were there in HUGE numbers (though I think there were more last year due to being a "marque" then). Some of the camping variants are amazing.
