Three-wheelers on display

While in the car museum, I was taken by the number of three-wheeled vehicles on display. There was more than just these on display but I couldn’t make them all fit nicely on the collage. Unfortunately, I didn’t take photos of the signage on them so I have no idea what models/makes they are. They all looked pretty unstable to me but I guess they were roadworthy. This is very short but I don’t know what else to say about them other than that they looked pretty groovy.

"Roadworthy" doesn't mean they won't tip over, though. I would not be comfortable driving one.

They look very 'suss' to me. I wouldn't be keen on driving one either.

@DaddyEvil I've known 'suss' for a while but my friend, according to her grandkids, is now 'nonch' (nonchalant)!!

They must be stable enough or they wouldn't have persisted with making them - maybe they weren't very stable which is why they stopped! lol

Those look very classy. These have the single wheel at the back. I don't know what difference it would make.

@JudyEv - No they never become very popular. The small FIAT Topolino first and then the FIAT 500 with 4 wheels were a lot more popular.

Did they become very popular? I can't remember what these makes were. I should have taken photos of the signs.

That is pretty groovy. We have one not too far from us , I would be interested in. We have talked a few times about going. My 4 year old would love it.

I wonder if they make a 3-wheel pedal car.

There doesn't look to be much protection. They look like they'd crumple pretty easily.

I am a bit dubious about their safety ,though they are roadworthy.

They look like they'd tip over too easily.

They look unique, although I would not trust driving one as I would surely tip it over.

That's how I feel about them. Too easy to tip.

Is that right, two wheels on front and one at the back? Quite unique. Most three wheelers here have one wheel on front and two at the back

The autos on this post look great for a three wheel drive vehicle.

The paintwork on them is very well done for sure.

They look pretty but I wonder if three wheels offer a good balance.

I've never seen a car like the top one before. Robin Reliants used to be quite popular here though, in the 70s and 80s. I think I might just be able to glimpse the front corner of one in the top left of you upper photo!

I had a look at the photo and it looks to me like the grill is different from the one in your photo. From memory, the ones we saw all had the single wheel at the back. We need to go back and have another look! lol
