thats a lame attempt of a 7. no wonder you aint seen one before. suprised anyone would want it.

There's one parked outside a house opposite the QE hospital in Birmingham. It has about 10 years of moss growing on it so it mustn't get used a lot. Not surprising with about 25 BHP.

Hammerhead's avatar looks prety cool and that looks like it's 2CV based. See; Locostbuilders 'Respect' posted today, for the side view. Well tasty.
Yes, I realise it's virtual. Still looks bloody good tho'.

This particular example is a 3-wheeler. Possibly an early Lomax?? But, yes - its in a nearly terminal condition.

I count 4 wheels. It's just like the one near me.

Hi my avatar isn't based on a 2CV as the cheeky buggar 'Confused but excited' says.

Its a concept car called a Toyota triathlon. Look it up on conceptcarz.com its a tandem 2 seater.

Check again. That 4th wheel is a side-mounted spare. See pic. Rescued attachment 3wheeler.jpg

Oh right, sorry Hammerhead. If I ruffled any feathers, that wasn't my intent.
It's just obvious that Toyota have back engineered the suspension arrangement 'a la deux cheveaux'. Which was very well engineered and nothing to be ashamed of.

The best thing to do with all 2CV's is this :

I don't know this is better
Woo Hoo!

There is a lot of well advanced tech under the tin, In board disks, good transaxle great off road ability and more comfortable than a land rover while at it!
