There is one of those for sale at the moment in Japan. About 2k US. Im sorely tempted but focussed on my 34..

GN's and 3 wheelers!! My favorites.

 

Interesting build; lots of eyeballing when fitting up. 50cc wouldn't cut it for me.

Its a legal work around here in Japan to get them plated. Above that triggers a world of woe. Im sure guys are putting bigger engines in them just as we do with the Honda Cubs......

 

I didn't think of that issue. I went through a lot of trouble to register my JZR build. Even 50cc will be fun to drive.

 

Have you seen this one?

 

Wow, no I have not seen that one before; fabulous!!

The 1965 Subaru 360

 

Volpe was a story told many times. People have dreams but can't make them happen. Tucker did it here but got screwed by Detroit.
Love the Subaru!!

 

Here's another for you fred, I know it ain't a cyclecar but thought you'd like it anyhoo

 

There is an old film here on the HAMB with that TALBOT on the Dry Lakes.

 

Those Talbot's are fabulous. Here is a Morgan Aeromax concept car that never made it to the production line. I like it!!

 

I've always liked the Citroen Traction Avant. I got to playing around with a printout picture of one to make it into a Airline, sort of. Please excuse the drift away from cyclecars.

 

And now for something completely different.

It sure IS different! Looks like it should have cowled spare wheels mounted behind the front wings.
