Thought I would post this as chit-chat since it's not a mini , its not a 'variant' project and it might be of interest.

Basically a mini sub-frame and engine with a jet-ski style seat. Produced as a kit in the 70s. 

I think the face of the bloke on the left says it all!

 

Interesting write-up here -

Like all trikes, it’s the worst of both worlds - the weather protection of a motorbike and the agility of a car.

Not to mention it’s plug-ugly!

It is a thing of its time,look at the people around it,staid and conservative in dress and outlook probably.A youthful two finger salute to the establishment.The world is much poorer now things of this kind are almost outlawed.I was a youth in the seventies so I probably drooled over things like this,now I just drool.Its a fun thing,enjoy,Steve..
