All pictures show a left-hand drive car. Interesting.

I believe the main market for the 3 wheeler is expected to be the USA, hence HD engine + left hand drive etc. Mind you there has been great interest in the UK.

yes - as far as I am aware, but not really a big deal in a narrow open car, and when you tour the back roads of rural France you will be sitting in the plum seat

With no weather protection I don't see a large number being used for touring... Hmmm, wonder if I could find one to borrow for a potential end to end run next year? Would be a bit quicker than my 4/4!  Cheers,

[quote=A11OGE]I believe the main market for the 3 wheeler is expected to be the USA, hence HD engine + left hand drive etc. Mind you there has been great interest in the UK. the output shaft is left hand/ rear of the engine when fitted to a motorcycle, turn the engine through ninety degrees and the drive comes through the right side footwell so control pedals have to be on the left Gents are you sure about this, as the engine is a V the output shaft should be centrally located. See below. This will then connect the the gearbox. If the shaft is offset then the gearbox will also be offset which does not appear to case in the pictures on the MMC site. Am I missing something?

the driveshaft has to come on one side of the rear wheel, so that is creating the disymetric (is that correct?!) chassis.
