Think you might struggle at that price, even if it is a REALLY nice one. Don't think ive seen one go for >£8k think most go for around the £7k mark.
Good luck though!
yer I've adjusted the price 7995 now, cheapest other one is £8,500 and not as good, only 68 ever built so rare as hens teethe anyway, lol.Good luck though!

Evening fuoriserie, I have seen the car in the flesh and it s a very interesting development. However I am not convinced that it will sell at that price, personally. Best of luck to the seller, but realism in the pricing may be needed. Steffan said:

It does make you think though, if threewheelers need to have Retro inspired design to succeed in this niche ?...other than the Grinnal Scorpion....

Or no roof.These machines are most often bought as back-to-basics, wind-in-the-hair weekend toys.
An essential ingredient is wind in the hair...

I would agree with you....but it does rain in winter and it is cold...
In which case you drive your other car.Nobody - and I mean nobody spends a 5-figure sum on a Hayabusa engined cabin trike as their only form of transport.
I still maintain that the Berkeley design remains to this day the best road going three wheeler.
Never bettered IMO.
On a positive note I do look forward to someone actually bettering Lawrie Bond's efforts!! More than 50 years ago now!!

Does the canopy hinge forward, Stuart?I really like the svelte shape and flowing lines are they still being made, Stuart?
Or has reality cost/benefits doomed the idea?

You didn't see Stuart's other post, Steffan? (I guess the Mods removed it because it was advertising )I really like the svelte shape and flowing lines are they still being made, Stuart?

It's an abandoned project he has in his workshop, you might be able to buy the project if you wanted to!
