Hi guys,
I'm a browser who's just discovered the 3-wheel section of this awesome site!
I'd really like to own a T-rex style car one day, but seems they are only available in the US and Canada... Is there anyone in the UK that can
supply one, or even a similar kit?
Some links for people who don't know what I'm talking about:

Hi Chrizz1
There's the Grinnal Scorpion LINKY
Neil
I don't mean to offend, but those top two are hideous.
Like a C5 on steroids.
Cheers for the link Neil.
It's the obscene look of the T-rex and G2 that I actually like 
Yes, there is one.
Not in UK but in Germany.
Check www.threewheelfactory.com
The problem with these now is fitting a reverse, now a requirement under IVA.
£ wheelers have the same requirement for reverse under IVA? Or is there a different test seeing as its classed as a motorcycle?
I quite like them
T-rex comes with a reverse...G2 is a copy of an old version of the t-rex but available as a kit...
I am working on an R1 powered trike at the moment. 320kgs. 150 bhp. 2.5m wheel base. To be sold in kit form, probably £4k
To be launched at the Stafford show Sept.
Trikes are covered by MSVA not BIVA.
Fee is £104 and £17 retest. Far less strict than BIVA/SVA and no reverse required.
You can even just have one headlight if you prefer. That could help stylists create something unusual.
What's the point of a roof but no windscreen ? It will be like driving a parachute into the wind.

There was a T Rex lookalike kit at the Carlisle PA USA Kit car show in May. It was very inexpensive compared to the original T Rex cars. Google ?

The G2 can generate 2G (funnily enough)... I would have thought that the back end would have started sliding long before then???
... and another thing! How do the swing-arms stand-up to the extra torsional forces applied by having two-wheels at the front? I would have thought
it would be twisting like a right sod under the 'un-natural' cornering stress.
Obviously, they do work or they wouldn't be in production, but how... ???
The Campagna ones are using double shockers, I know some of the copies use monoshock, the Campagna trike is very well made, but at $58,000 it bloody
well should be 
I was on with designing, fabricating and building one when my MNR kit came along, so until I get bored with that, it will have to stay on my back
burner 
Its an awesome experience in a T-Rex though, check my linky
I managed to turn the camcorder off just as he opened it up on the freeway LOL

There is no need (currently) for a reverse as 3 wheelers do MSVA not IVA.
Its not about needing a reverse to me, why would you ever buy such a huge vehicle like this and not have a reverse?
How stupid do you look when you have to get out / off to push or pull it backwards. I know because it passes for MSVA and not IVA it is not needed, I
just think if you are building a trike, make some modification or effort to fit a reverse system.
MEV at first impression is quite good, but after a look around it, its pretty over priced rubbish to me. Lot's of better models at similar
prices are available.
And filming on an open road without a fully road registered vehicle just says COWBOYS to me.
