Cheers Andy, the lady is Mrs Stinkey AKA Maria..she's  5.5 but nigh on 6 ft in her heels ? ..oh you mean details on the trike ? He.he.. Well it's obviously reliant powered, home built  chassis using what we had lying about..an old 70s springer front end with a motorcross front wheel I got from a bike jumble, the headlight Martin got at a Harley jumble..the back wheels Martin originally had on his jag..fitted with adapters to the reliant back axle..I made a propshaft disc/handbrake using an old calliper off an old trials bike..the petrol tank is off a Harley ? The seat is an old style tractor type off eBay ..the rear seat frame was made from more scrap tubing and both seats covered by Glenn Moger in tuck n roll style..( tan and black )

Speedo error perhaps. Unless it's a very early axle.
Lovely pics as usual Stinky
