I am in the UK & I have been looking at buying a 3 wheeler and love the car. I have looked at new & used examples and have noticed that they seem prone to rust on chassis parts that I can see & presumably on those parts that I cannot. The finish on the examples that I have seen is not great. Given the age of the cars, the fact that they are normally garaged and their tendency to be a fair weather car I am concerned about this.

I am also concerned about the inside of the chassis tubes and corrosion coming from the inside out in the longer term.

Have owners done anything to keep their 3 wheelers both looking good and be long lived with regard to rust?

Have I just been unlucky in the examples that I have seen?
