The very first Lomax body in red was sold in late 1982 to Mr Peter Jackson proprietor of Brampton Garage, a Citroen dealership in Huntington (quote from the Tom Lucas book). I think this car was a 224 / 424 four wheeled configuration that may have never been finished.

The first appearance of a 223 Lomax was at a show in April 1983 registration NFT 894P, but it had double rear wheel, so not a true three wheeler.

The first 223 three wheeler demonstrator was early 1984
