273 A VW Beetle based Trike registration number 278 A pallet of small concrete Roof tiles and
Q612 VAF (Not transferable). Recorded at the
DVLA as a ''Runninwild'', she was first 279
registered on the 1st June 1997 and is 280
recorded as 1200 cc., the last M.O.T. test 281
expired, it seems, on the 18th July 2011. The
trike is currently SORN'd and the V5C is now 282
present. We are informed by the vendor that
this rather unusual three-wheeled motorcycle
was constructed as an R & R project on an 283
Aircraft carrier in the Falkland Islands during 284
the Falklands War, presumably therefore
either on H.M.S. Invincible or H.M.S. Hermes. 285
A previous owner is understood to have toured
the continent with her, towing a small trailer. 286
As can be seen, she has a Motorcycle-style
front end and a VW Beetle air cooled rear 287
end/transaxle/running gear. No engine is 288
included with the trike, but a suitable engine
should not prove too difficult to source. The 289
vendor had, at vast expense, commissioned a
much modified and balanced four cylinder air- 290
cooled engine for the machine with oversized
barrels and pistons, an up-rated camshaft and 291
breathing through twin Dellorto carburettors.
He states that very few vehicles, with the 292
exception of potent motorcycles, were quicker
off the line. The engine can be made available 293
to the successful purchaser, if required, for
£2,500. The trike, which has obviously been
road-legal, is sold for restoration/ 294
recommissioning and should make an exciting
spring project. As with all motor vehicles sold 295
through our auctions, this machine is sold in
its current condition and all vehicles should be 296
inspected in person prior to bidding. N.B. 297

274 A ''Winget'' one tonne, rear steer Dumper with
new front tyres. The dumper is fitted with a 299
Petter single cylinder, air-cooled diesel engine 300
Serial No. 115550 and the makers' plate states
that 7.4 B.H.P. is produced at 1,650 R.P.M. The 301
Hand-brake is effective and the steering
appears very positive. Has been standing 302
outside, was previously running and it is hoped
that she will be running prior to the auction. 303
