In fact, the trike project started well before the Centenary and when Gerwyn and I visited
Alan, he advised us that he had built a prototype for MMC of a trike with sliding pillar front suspension. He advised that he had not dealt direct with MMC, but that the project was commissioned by BRA and there was no follow up with him once he delivered the trike to BRA.
This prototype has now come up for sale and it must be an ideal Trike purchase for Gerwyn, incorporating both Triking and MMC thinking and Triking build quality!
It has been purchased by
Ace Cyclecars, who are I believe the successors to BRA, which company were involved in the initial building of this prototype for MMC. The trike has sliding pillar suspension and can be fitted with any engine, including a
Guzzi! Personally, and at the risk of upsetting the purists, I can see why MMC did not go ahead with this version of the 3W as that sliding pillar front suspension does not look right.
How are you fixed for a trip down to Ace Cyclecars in Ditchling Gerwyn?
