Two very good cars build from these plans!

There is a one being build in the UK. It owner/builder had a letter in CKC a few months back. I hope he finish and the car stars in an issue.

It would need a slight styling update to keep up with the more modern 3wheelers, but the Plans did look interesting at the time.Two very good cars build from these plans!

It is an older design, personal I would like a modern Lambo style make over and a small(less heavy) looking rear. Still for an 80's design it is good.Loved the new FIREAERO ACX. Unable to find more about this than your links. I know CKC now have a reporter in the USA you must get have the ACX add to his list of car to see at once. Hopefully I will one day be able to own one, yes I like it that much.

I believe these are connect to the T-Rex car. I like that more. Found this yesterday...
I think it looks great before that ugly red body was fitted (front and back just do not fit with each other, then these that cabin!). Just a two wheel arches and a cycle wing on the front to make it legal would work better! (Please anybody (fuoriserie) design a better body for this!) I am unclear as to how the front steering/suspension works. Looks big for just one seat.

Found this intresting yellow three wheeler on line...
For more visit http://www.elkinsdiy.com/reverse-trike/
Not shore about that fule tank. Looks a bit unsafe to me. Is it safer under your chest on a bike? Hope this inspires some of you.

I don't like this type of three wheelers but will post soon a rough sketch of something inspired by the Velorex Oskar...Edited by KDIcarmad on Thursday 14th June 15:40

I think I know what that will look like. I will say if I'm right or wrong after you post the design. I personal I see the Velorex as a enginear's design, not a designer's. Hope you design this to use both a soft cloth body and a hard bodyshell.Edited by KDIcarmad on Thursday 21st June 10:41

I agree, it's more of an engineers design, but could do with some styling input...Edited by KDIcarmad on Thursday 21st June 10:41
Has anybody in the past, used the Honda Deauville engine and shaft drive in a threewheeler kit?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honda_Deauville
You could have the same engine and shaft drive on the Honda NTV 650 Revere.
Maybe an engine to consider ?

This makes me think of a Messerschmitt car of the late 50-60's. I do wonder how easy it is to use the rear seat.

I have seen the car on the Internet, but did not know how it was built. A very cleaver construction technique, that can be done anywhere by any one who can used basic tools. Will you be showing this to your co-workers at CKC for Project X? As to the car itself... http://autospeed.com/cms/A_110989/article.html

It also made me think of these two VW concept cars...
I like bits of both, but the green is my favorite. Both have 4 wheels but would make a great starting point for a three wheeler. I would use the roof line from the silver one on the the rounder lower half of the green, for a very interesting modern three wheeler.
