Let's Talk Cyclecars

Anyone have a pic of a Sandford threewheeler? I have an engine here to restore for a Sandford threewheeler. It is a 4 cylinder inline, watercooled Ruby engine. So far, this is the only Sandford 3-wheeler that I know of.

 

I will try to upload the few pics I have from the Sandford of my late friend. His son plans to put the thing back on the road so I have lots of work to get the engine going again - til now its in 1000 pieces.

 

...and how about some pictures of that BMW motorcycle please?

 

I know it a thread on CycleCars but I just had to post my CycleKart!!!

 

Congratulations,nice little car!

 

Beautiful work! I love it.

Back in the late 70's a guy showed up at the Lodi Grape Festival run with a 3/4 scale "T" bucket, it had a 750 Honda motorcycle engine in the front. That was a wicked little car. I was sitting on the grass at the Hotel watching cars go by. He pulled out from a Hotel a few places down from us. He got on it and the front wheels lifted about 3" off the ground. He shifted and away he went. I'd love to find that car today. Chain drive if I remember right, maybe a Harley trike rear axle.

 

Yep, that Harley rear axle makes it easy. You have your transmission built in with the engine. Except today you'd be hard pressed to liberate an Harley axle to use in something other than a Servi-car.

I originally saved the second image for the Diamond-T Model 80 bus.

 

I can't "talk cycle cars" because I am ignorant about them. BUT, I LOVE this thread & looking at & learning about them. Thanks everyone for sharing!!

Thanks for sharing. I recently watched a YT about folks who build cycle karts and race them. Seems they have the greatest time.

 

Victoria, Australia. Croydon, kilsyth , Montrose ,Kalorama Mt Dandenong is hilly country. Wonder how long that little car lasted there. Those liscense plates are worth a fortune now.
Croydon had a great twin Drive-In with 1100 car capacity up till 1990. Fun times in the 70s

I don't know what it is. I do like the acetylene generator and headlamp. I can't tell if there is one on the other side or not.
