Saw one today but can't for the life of me remember what they're called.

Someone please put me out of my misery.

Isn't that a Reliant Robin with a big bore 2CV engine swap? :D :D

It's a very odd lookeing open top three wheeler. Two wheels at the front and one at the back. Presumably it's a scrabbly but I don't know.

As for pics... can't be arsed to look :p

Changed my mind and found a pic.

(well nicked it off Jon's link anyway).

I think it looks kind of cool in a perverse sort of way :thumbs:

Looks like a quality car though :)

Don't like the look of that, just MO though! What was that three wheeler with single wheel RWD that was made (basically a motor bike engine/back end and car front)? Anyone know what I'm talking about? Think it was BMW??? Maybe production?

Dunc.

Anyone remember the Quasar? A rather perverse mixture of Reliant engine in a two wheeled chassis. Looked pretty cool when it was conceived .... in the early eighties wasn't it?

I remember Brum, he was always going to the beach or getting lost in town :mad:

How about this one?

The Stimson Scorcher.
Can't see from the pic but 3 people can sit on top of it one behind the other. Mini engine and front wheel drive.

The powers that be got it a tizzy and classed it as a motorbike. This meant the driver/rider had to wear a helmet. It also meant that the third person was defined as being a sidecar passenger and didn't have to :rolleyes:

Our company supplied quite a few parts for the Scorpion and one of the lads actually got to drive the prototype, he was well impressed with it:thumbs:
