I wonder if we could use some of the ideas from this old Velorex into a modern 3wheeler kit ?

Are we ready to accept a textile body? maybe use taurpaulin ?

people seemed to be amazed at the BMW GINA concept a few years ago as it used a skin over a carbon and Alu skeleton. all my friends seemed to look at me like a muppet when i told them that having a skin over a skeleton was very old and they should take a look at the Velorex. no doubt the GINA is a better looking car though.

True, the Gina does looks better, but it's the concept of stretched facric over a chassis that appeals to me.

I would think it would be a bit nippy through the Czechoslovakian winter
