KDD 814P - Currently taxed and MOT'd. Still a 3-wheeler, but no longer "brown". So likely been rebodied.

A Lomax rear suspension-arm and a cut-down Lomax bonnet on a 2CV chassis. The in-between bits built by me-but-with-hair, in Bristol in 1983-ish. Marine ply supplied by, I think, Robbins. GS instruments and other bits. Traveled as far as Rome on a couple of spring camping tours.

Later - after near-melting an engine while failing to climb a snowy pass into Switzerland - had a cowled fan-cooled 602 fitted, and the rear suspension was modded with an internal tube to tie both sides together.
