I bought one in the late sixties as a part exchange against a new Herald.
This was a three-wheeler. Fun, fairly slow - and terrifying in London rush
hour traffic. Sold it within the month to a 'Flower Power' couple who were
getting married and planning a honeymoon in it driving thru' Europe. Often
wondered whether the headlight nacelles were a carryover from the machine
gun ports :)
