[Spridgets] 1959 Berkeley SE 492 Roadster

[Jim Johnson]

Alan,

Thanks for confirming that my memory isn't as bad as it sometimes seems
these days!!   Yes, the one I recall had 3 wheels and the engine was a
fairly large 3 cylinder air cooled affair. I drooled over several JAP
engined Morgan 3 wheelers and actually got to drive one a couple times
around the club circuit at Brands Hatch!  What a treat.  The chap who owned
it later sold me a basket case Morgan 3 wheeler with the Ford engine.  I
crated it up and shipped it back to the States to await restoration.
Unfortunately, divorce got it away from me in 1980, still in the crate.  Too
soon old and too late smart!

Cheers!!
Jim
