Kit car company for sale, NTDWM

Never heard of it, not sure I like it, pictures aren't much help, anyone know it?

Kit Car Company For Sale on eBay (end time 11-Nov-10 15:04:07 GMT)d





As some day it may happen that a victim must be found,
I've got a little list-- I've got a little list
Of society offenders who might well be underground,
And who never would be missed-- who never would be missed!

company???

Bit of a stetch calling it a company, there are people on here with more than that stored in their garage.





Life moves pretty fast, if you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

LOVE the first picture on that website, looks like some overenthusiastic biker drove his ZX9 into the back of a fairground ride!!

Having said that, the front suspension looks pretty trick to be honest.

That's the UK version of the Sportcycle.

It was to be built here under license, but the bloke lost the rights to produce them a while ago.

If they are public domain, please post them here, I'm quite interested in the front end.

Hardly a company and ramming a bike into the back of a hidious f1 copy didn't do it any favours!

The drawings are not public domain, they are a commercial item.

AARRGGHHH my eyes, WHY OH WHY

that sooks like cack, someone crashed a bike into the back of a toy car and then glued it in place

what on earth are people thinking of

with some proper rear bodywork and design, that could maybe work, but not while the bike is on show!!





heavy is good, heavy is reliable, and if it breaks, hit them with it

do all that work and ruin by not bothering with the rear, why not at least remove all the rear cowl and seat and build a bit of body work to cover it up

Part of the idea is that it can be returned to motorbike state over the course of a weekend, so that would explain why it looks like it does from the rear.

Doesn't explain (or excuse) the front, though!

Although it is as ugly as sin - this 3 wheeler is quite useful as the original bike frame is not modified, the vehicle does not need an MSVA test, just a basic VIC to get it correctly registered.

What's a VIC?

Vehicle Identity Check... not sure how it applies in this case though!

Basically a DVLA check to see that the conversion is what it claims to be.
i.e. - a reversible modification so that the vehicle could be easily put back to original and that enough of the original bike is retained and with the correct vehicle identity, frame and engine numbers per the original registered vehicle.
