VW Trike
This started life as a 1970 type 1 VW Beetle and was modified into a Trike using the original 1600cc Air-Cooled Engine, 4 Speed Gearbox & the Rear Suspension.
A new “One Off” chassis was made from 4mm wall mild steel tubing.
Dashboard Housing, Rear Mudguards, Side Panels, Fuel Tank, Battery & Tool Boxes are fabricated from 2mm Mild Steel Sheet.
Handlebars & Seat bases are “One Off”
All the above were designed & fabricated by owner. dont Front Forks & Wheel are from a VF750 Honda
Will have 12 months MoT, Taxed 'til 04/10 Yours for only £3250, before I advertise it elsewhere.

Tis a shame Pete, but if other projects call, something has to go I guess. A nicely built machine. Buy it quick someone.

Our neighbour's V8 Range Rover's just run out of tax & only got a couple of months of tax left. He was told last year it wouldn't pass another test. Might be up for grabs soon.

Hope the next project will be a forward engined trike so I'll give the scooby a miss.
