Went to Brighton for the day today and spotted this little beauty...

Should be easy to find who owns it by the reg number.

you mean the three wheeled oneswith a handdle bar for steering?

correct me if I am wrong but I am sure I remember them having an AC badge, the same company that made the cobra? haven't seen one of those for years (the invalid carriage not the cobra)


donut - 29/4/06 at 07:42 PM

You are absolutely correct, AC did indeed make them. They also used to make small trains that you used to see at the seaside giving trips along the sea front. Hastings still run one but i don't know who built it.

If you published their name here (no don't do it!), they definitely would become famous!

there used to be 3 of them (one in each colour) at the Romans garage on the a217 near banstead, they didnt have enough room in the show room so it was left out on the street. (they had a merc slr and a carrera gt in at the same time)

You're talking about the Thundersley/AC Invacar you are
Always had dreams of getting one and shoving a GSXR1000 motor into one, lowering it, widening the track by about a foot, flared arches, matt black paint........


donut - 2/5/06 at 03:09 PM

Oh yes just imagine it....erm maybe not


Jasper - 2/5/06 at 03:42 PM

And Hicost stopped on yesterday coming back from Stoneleigh in a service station, think he said it was a silver one???

He got a pic so I'm sure he'll post it.

Anyway Donut - you were 100 yds from my shop and didn't come and say hello


donut - 2/5/06 at 04:04 PM
