Definitely don't want one (not at £30k!).
Definitely want a go though!

I really want a go in one, I need to find somewhere that hires them!! Should be a bit of a headturner

prefer the monotracer...

I drove one of these a few years ago when ecurie25 had one for a wee bit.

Bloody odd thing to drive but certainly effective. Needed much more power to deliver proper thrills though - at least 150bhp in that chassis.

Does seem rather expensive though at £32k - i think my motorbike-with-a-steering-wheel-esque thrills at that sort of price would go here:

Agree. The performance is dire, a 125 will blow it away in a straight line and in the corners. For £30k I would buy an Aerial Atom and an MV Augusta.

£30k

Saw one of these in a car park a few years back and had to do a bit of research to find out what it was!!
I'd agree with most of the former posts in that I would like to have a go but would pay the asking price to own it!...

So would I, but I make a Morgan trike with a couple of extras a >£32k roofless toy.

SS7

What about a Razor, it's a lot cheaper than both.

Ugly swift euobox 'vs' ugly crazy 3 wheeler. I venture that very few people would have both on their shopping list.

The Carver might look good but unless you want to be killed or seriously injured I would stay well away from it! I know because I bought one from Richard Thorne in December 2011 and it had only covered 9000 miles. On the 29th. of February I was travelling at around 40 mph when one of the rear pivot bars broke and the car dived into a bank and then slid along the road. It was written off but has now gone to Poland where it may well be rebuilt.

Richard Thorne are advertising new ones and there is also a delivery mileage one for sale at a garage in London, the price has recently been reduced by £5000 because nobody wants it! How can these people be allowed to sell a car which has an acknowledged design fault?

The original Carver firm went bankrupt a few years ago and there were five cars left unsold. One of these was bought by Simon Cowell (the one now for sale in London at Hexagon of Kensington). I emailed Simon and told him what had happened to mine. He had his inspected and replied to my email telling me that the mechanic had found corrosion and parts on the point of breaking! This on a car which is being advertised as a 2012 model but is, in fact, a number of years old.

The problem concerns the design of the rear steering and the pivot bars which are under too much stress. It is a known problem among Carver owners and they have broken on other cars beside mine. The service agent in Holland replaces them with a stronger bar but it is still under stress and will also break eventually. The current producers of the Carver, in Germany, are working on a solution but as they are on a very limited budget they cannot afford to put the vehicle back through the TUV process.

After my Carver was written off I put in an order for a new Boxster, which has now arrived. When you compare the quality of the Porsche with some of the cheap plastics on the interior of the Carver you wonder how they even managed to sell the 200 they did, a number of which have already been destroyed.
