a well traveled cyclecar ,Paris 1938.

 

May not be a true Cycle Car but when was the last time you saw a 1913 Bugatti? Bob

DERBY with RUBY engine

 

What a great car park . The Chevy looks a little out of place.

 

HaHaHa! Looks like an "All Makes" gathering.....

 

A run of three wheelers from all over Europe in Corsica. marcpics

 

A strange Morgan. The engine is actually two Scott 2 cylinder, 2 cycle water cooled motorcycle engines. They were connected by chain drive and used the Morgan clutch/3 speed gearbox.

 

Interesting little car. I wonder what it did to the weight distribution and handling?A lot like tying 2 GM 6-71 engines together side by side with a single output.

 

Well, not prezactly, Bob. 6-71's will run for a long, long time. A Scott will run for a while (until the crank breaks)

What fun.
Love the tricycle,
Is it the same as the front end photos from the last page i asked you about ?

 

David,
Yes - it is the same model! Pity that steering/suspension isn't visible at films!

Would of been nice to see the front end in action,
Tricycles with 1 wheel at front remind me of the blue fibergl*** invalid cars i used to see as a boy,
They had the villiers 11e 2 stroke moter with electric start,"dynastart"
They had 2 sets of points, the second used to run the moter backwards for reversing,
I had one of these moters in my first ever motorcycle and geuss who wired up the wrong set of points to have a 4 gear reversing motorcycle...lol

 

Just bought, and then rapidly sold, this one at the Circuit des Ramparts in Angouleme this weekend

The reports said that it was front heavy so didn't handle well but was very smooth running. It was later changed to a Ford engine sticking out front. It has now been restored with the Scott engines. All info from the Mog 3 wheel forum.

^^^^^^^ I thought that they made die cast models. Oh! That is actually Brumm and they are just a little bit smaller.
