Amazing to see so many threewheelers in one place , must be great when they all start their engines ! I couldn't see the rear light on the steam punk creation , presume it's been repositioned ?
That looks awesome. Whats been done to the dash? Can you post a close up of the bonnet?
As a model maker I can admire the 'weathering' of this M3W, with very clever use of chemical blacking and I especially like the opening bonnet. But somehow it seems a bit false to me, as it is trying to make a relatively new vehicle appear 70 years older than it is. I prefer my toys to grow old (dis)gracefully through use but also then gaining a true patina.

On the whole I would agree, but I have to say that I really like this example!
