Thursday Twister: 3 Wheeler

For this week's Thursday Twister, it is time to name your favorite 3-wheeled car.  Thats right, we are going off the reservation and into the woods.  

Thursday Twister: Unstable

The What Am I? feature from this week was a particularly dastardly image from the front of a Felber Autoroller T 400 -- which isn't a steam roller or a cuticle trimmer, but a 3-wheeler built in Vienna that fits two adult and one baby panda, but that's not imporant.  What is important is that it's a three wheeler and for today's Thursday Twister we are going to name ALL of the 3-wheelers.

1k: Back From The Future: 1980 XK1 Tri Hawk 3-Wheeler

In the past, the future was a terrible place.  Distopian futurists claimed that we'd all be living in some kind of post nuclear winter land with an oppressive big brother watching us (best case), or fighting for scraps of food (worst case) but that isn't the worst part. The worst part is the horrible automobiles that futurists dreamed up in what can only be described as a nightmare.  Find this 1980 XK1 Tri Hawk 3 wheel Car/motorcycle here on eBay currently bidding for $1,776 with a few hours to go, located in Carle Place, NY.

10k: Three Wheels Of Fun: 1992 Citroën 2CV Lomax 223

The 2CV, known colloquially as the deux chevaux (two horses), was a Toute Petite Voiture (compact) designed in the '30s by the French automaker Citroën.  In 1938 there was this war, with Nazis, tanks, occupation, all kinds of horrible stuff, and post-war France regressed into what they called the Grey Years as most of the pre-war cars had been destroyed or militarized or both. The devastated French population, now under a post-war French-Socialist government (1944) regressed to an earlier style of transportation, with horse drawn carriages and government dictated resource rationing further delayed the production of the 2CV.  Finally, in 1948, 2CV production started in earnest and didn't stop until 1990.  Find this 1992 Citroën 2CV Lomax 223 for sale in Aspiran, France for $15,000 or best offer via ebay.

10k: 1980 Morgan 3-Wheel Tribute Replicycle

Before the Morgan Motor Company built cars that termites love, they had a reputation for building cyclecars, or three wheeled motorcycle powered death traps that could seat 2 to 4 people.  The reckless and wealthy can still buy Morgan 3 Wheelers new in the UK for about £25,000 GBP or $40,000 USD.  The reckless cheapskates can pickup a replica version for much less, such as this 1980 Morgan 3 Wheeler replicycle being offered from those crazy guys at MotoExotica (we love their regular ebay offerings and would probably spend a lot of time at their retail store if we lived closer) via ebay for $11,900 buy-it-now.
