    Love the aerodynamic arrow pointed back ends on some of these 40 mph vehicles. It's like symbolic irony humor!

    Goodness. The older I get the more appealing these little treasures become.I saw a wicker bodied , v twin powered twin seater a few years ago in Melbourne Australia. It had a rope pull start in the cabin, a solid rear axle with a single Morris Minor brake hub on the inboard part of the axle . The seats were two plastic stackable kitchen chairs without the steel legs. No gauges, or switches or even any lights. Wish I could see it again today.

    Cyclecars are often overlooked...always found them interesting...were an answer to the engine displacement tax... I think Morgan cyclecars are still being made, but rather expensive.

      3 wheelers were taxed as motorcycles, and motorcycles were taxed according to cylinder bore size. The reason for such long stroke engines.

    All the movies I've seen that are either made in the UK or are 'located' in the UK, you'd think you'd see a few more cycle cars in them. Honestly, I wish there were more modern versions of these but here in the States I'm terrified of driving around in an up armored humvee... the other day I had a Hellcat Demon blow by me so fast I thought I had been hit, my car was shoved by air 3 feet to the right... which was scary since there is no shoulder on that road.

    Super cool video!! I have been assembling a machine shop to support my CZcams channel that I will be starting with the build of a 1928 Morgan RIP GN special 3 wheeler with 4 wheels. I am using an experimental aircraft opposed twin supercharged engine. This will be mated to an MG 4 speed manual gearbox with a 2 piece hand cast aluminum adapter. This will be connected to an MG differential with beautiful wire wheels. The frame I stood over steel and will have aircraft cloth stretched over and sprayed with plasticizer. This will have a boat tail look and is essentially a 20's airplane without a propeller or wings. There is only one other in existence and Charlie Martin races it in the UK. The next project lined up is the building of a Brooklands style cycle car similar to the Pembleton. This will have a BMW R-100 engine in the front and four wheels with gorgeous leather interior and even space for luggage. I look forward to seeing everyone over at the channel when it gets warm out enough to be in the barn in Pennsylvania .....

    Sadly the green peoples party of Germany and the EU environment chamber have banned all combustion cars after 2030, from 2025 on there will be only very limited fuel supply, only one gas station per city in the EU. In Scandinavia all combustion cars and fossile fuels are banned from 2025 on too. At the moment they even discuss to forbid trade with used combustion cars including classics!
