    I think technological accessibility was the main consideration. GNs and Frazer Nashes basically required zero capital to make, compared to the modern norm.

    It never occurred to me that it was doubling as a "gearbox", I've never seen one up close, I always assumed there was a gearbox and spider gear in the third member... I learned something today. The name cycle car makes even more sense now.
    I'm assuming both rear wheel get power so how does it behave in tight cornering? Or is there a way of some slipping?

    Slipping probably occurs when a tire slips more than anything else.here is the wild man Dougal of Longstone Tyres with his GN "PIGLET".

    The one that I drove acted just fine on the road cornering. Even full lock turns at low speed didn't produce any squeal, or hopping. I suppose that rear tire life was short, but not a concern for Dugal. Gear changing was a dream--as quick as a motorcycle, with no clutch. I could have bought JB285 for $1500, but had just bought a new family car, and the money just wasn't there. This was in 1966. Biggest "wish I had" in a whole life of dumb moves
