Excellent modes of transport... but, on the three-wheelers, don't get two wheels up...[one front, one rear] and the drivers one lower... car turns over...
Another nice flaw in the design... central pedal is the accelerator... you can go very fast into an emergency accident!!

Looks like a BSA Scout this one... four wheels rather than three.

How nice to find someone who knows a bit about these rare cars. This was supposed to be a BSA rally but as there were so few they invited some other makes along as well. The setting was brilliant and photogenic despite the fact I had the "wrong" lens.

G. might even have been there with one of the cars you saw!
One rather nice last anecdote... he got to 86.45mph on the strip at Santa Pod on one occasion, during some sort of Vauxhall private event, before breaking a half shaft... he was trying for 90+ on his third run... but he was happy... the Morgan that happened to be there "only" got 85 something and never bettered it!! Seems the old rivalries still exist!!!
