Doran self-build plans
I finally got my plans from the states for the Doran 3 wheeler - and thanks to the US customs hanging on to them for so long that several sets were
sent , I've got a spare set
The drawings leave a lot to be desired , so I've passed a set on to a friend in the design office to re-draw them on CAD , and add all the
missing dimension's - there's no way I could build anything from the originals
It's gonna be a challenge - and it will need some mod's to pass SVA/IVA - but I am looking forward to getting started (all I have to do is
finish all the other projects )
Its cuz I is blond , innit

This is what it `should` look like - but as the body is foam/fibreglass construction , mine may be a bit different

I've been told on here that 3 wheelers will still face MSVA, not IVA. Woohoo!
What do you get in your Robert Q Reily plans? A few sketches or the full Ron Champion?

Thats certainly different. Am i right in assuming it is FWD?
How long can i resist the temptation to drop a V8 in?

No IVA ?
The plans are somewhere between sketch and `full Ron Champion` - there are drawings for all the major components , but not all the dimensions are
there , leaving a lot to work out
It's front wheel drive , using all it's mechanical component's from a Subaru 1800 - I still havn't worked out what model that
is `over here` , but I want to use a much smaller engine as it is intended to be a super-cheap to run replacement for my ageing 1.4 corsa .
The plans allso include an electric powered version - 60 mph+ , 60 mile range , and a claimed 0-60 of around 10 second's
