[Spridgets] 1959 Berkeley SE 492 Roadster

[uniquelittlecars at yahoo.com]

Interesting - wikipedia say they two a two cylinder motor. I never knew they
made one.
 
All of the ones i owned were 3 cylinders. One was a Royal Infield and the
other two had the excelsior motors.
 
The 492 on the car on ebay was the cc of that model excelsior  motor. They ran
a single carb on each cylinder. (Tri-power) The car because of its weight went
very well with this configuration. The green car looks like the last one i
owned. But i know my car is still here in the USA on display.

One of my pals in England had a Berkeley but I thought I remembered it being

a 3 wheeler with a bigger displacement engine...
