    Three Wheeled Cars

    This should be attached to the "Which Cars Should Never Have Been Built" thread .... but I honestly believe these bastardized monstrosities are in a class by themselves.

    I see these pics and I can't help but wonder what the designers and manufacturers were thinking/smoking at the time.

    I'll start of with the Reliant Robin, which I believe had a production run of over 25 yrs ....can't understand that for the life of me .....

    The T-Rex is kinda cool, but I think of it as a modified motorcyle and not as a three wheeled car

    actually most Isetta's came with four wheels (two rear very close together) and the four wheel Messerschmidt Tiger is regarded as on of the best roadholding vehicles.

    Let's go back in history with this one, those old enough to remember Peter Sellers starring in the Party as Hrundi V. Baksheesh will recognise the car.
