Let's Talk Cyclecars

I read the book on Andre Lefebvre over Xmas - Love his work but not so sure about the Coccinelle.
Well worth a read with great info on the voison, DS etc

Herb,

Take a look at smcars.net- TONS of drawings, three views, blueprints, etc of cars, trucks, etc!

 

Thank you Zoran and you also Bill
Ever since I built an ersatz ''Morgan trike" (that ended up having the correct number of wheels, but weighed far, FAR too much,) I have had a soft spot in my head for them.

Live is wonderful and we are not thinking about the future !(look the big smile on their faces)

 

That's how it all started for me (and how many others?) at about 8 yrs old. It was a time when cast off baby carriages /prams could be found in any neighborhood dump to donate their running gear. I made several of them. One even had a trunk/backrest with a hinged lid and padlock. Dual steering: feet or clothesline rope. Good times, good times !

I've really enjoyed this thread. Thanks to everyone that has contributed.

 

The down side is we had to eat lambs tongues!

 

...and drink fish oil!
Terrible taste in my mouth even today after 55-60 years!

I hope I never get that hungry.

 

Roadsir was over today enjoying the build. I think I heard him make some motor noises??

 

In Switzerland we are eating a lot of cat tongues so that is the secret that we are leading the world in some strange things!
