Let's Talk Cyclecars

3 wheeled streamliner built by aeronautical engineer Victor Albert Bouffert.Based on a Citroen Traction Avant.Yes,I know it's too big to be a cyclecar....

 

Very aero inspired styling

 

Way to go; I see you got to drive it this summer. Exciting day!!!

 

Helo Cap,​

Now, that is real modern cyclecar: old style and new techology, excellent design and realisation!
Good for you that during building process you learnt new modern construction procedures!

Bob,​

Thank you on extraordinary photos of unusual vehicle!
I never saw one photo with it outside museum and especially with open rear "doors"!
For me - too much complicated woodwork for would be simple and cheap vehicle - but it is cute.

Lunch stop at the Roayl Huts Hotel during the Autumn one Day Cyclecar Trial,october 29,1913.

 

If you haven't seen it yet, check out the sick puppies on Hemmings blog today. Fowl, Dan Strohl has a piece on a cycle kart race held in Washington state. They are having too much fun!!http://thechicaneblog.com/2015/12/14/scenes-from-the-2015-cyclekart-tieton-grand-prix/

 

cool stuff Doug!

 

That's getting bigger every year. They had a big race in the streets of Scottsdale, Az. this year too.

 

Hey Doug--

Why you don't start something in Eastern PA ??

Herb, they are having too much fun. I'm too fat to fit in one of those things. I can't imagine any town in PA. allowing a bunch of hoodlums to race through streets like that. The camera car looked like it was ready to tip a couple of times.

 

Here's another post from the crankhandleblog.com folks. They are at the 100 Miles of Amsterdam Rally. this is put on by Joris Bergsma editor and founder of www.PreWarCar.com .Now,this event is for early cars with early electrical systems,held in the dark,always in December and about 100 miles in and around Amsterdam.They try to put these vintage cars on vintage appropriate roads.Read NARROW.Now imagine if the weather turns crappy....and you have marginal lighting,wipers,heater...or not,and let's not forget about weather protection.Then there are tire and traction issues.....

Here's a car built by Roach Mfg. (http://roachmanufacturing.com/cms/ ). A much modified Frazer Nash,Curtiss Ox-5 ,and Bugatti radiator.

 

This car will be moved beginning of next year in a German museum.

 

See Zoran's post #7618 ! ...

 

That thing is beautiful!

 

I like it too, Fiat Topolino and Type 57 Buigatti somehow stuck in a blender and that popped out. Bob

 

enjoy!

 

=======================================

Bob,​

That little coupe is cute and and small – closer to Fiat Topolino than to any Bugatti, except maybe to less-known Type-68... Some years ago I saw that modern version of shown coupe at Genf-Auto-Salon (Geneva Auto Show) and it is quite small!

Here are more information and photos:

Some of us are fans of small classic coupes?

Attached are photos of similar design, named at internet as Bugatti T-68 – replica... But, it looks to me more as re-creation of one of Ettore's sketches made for T-68 in Paris, during occupation of France... As I know, only one prototype was made – in cabriolet version, not one coupe... But, maybe I am wrong?
