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.

It looks like this one.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Confused but excited.

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'.
Tell them about the bent treacle edges!

This particular example is a 3-wheeler. Possibly an early Lomax?? But, yes - its in a nearly terminal condition.
Work-in-Progress: Changed to Zetec + T9. Still trying!!

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.

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.

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!
