Anybody Know What Car This Is?

[CooperD]

I took this photograph Six years ago on a holiday to the Aeolian Islands off the Sicilian coast and have always been intrigued as to what make this car is. I've never seen one like it before or since. I'm sure some of our avid P/H's will be able to tell me.

I saw one of those in London the other weekend. It looks like it's made from a Jacuzzi.

An Aixam of some sort I'd say- you know the kind of thing- Frwench, for old people, powered by a lawnmower engine; and a complete and utter danger to other road users on account of it being road legal but only capable of very low speeds...

Can be seen in rural France being driven by old and often drunk people who have lost their licenses.

Got to love the side impact protection!

quadricyle is what you are thinking here. it is an Axiam and there is a garage in Oswaldtwistle that sells them and has done for years. IIRC you do need a license but a bike license is enough and you can drive them as a learner un supervised. they reckon they can hit > 100mpg
