Triking
Dacht eerst een Morgan, maar was een Triking, nooit van gehoord, maar blijken sinds de jaren 70 Morgan 3-wieler replicas te maken.
Triking Sports Cars was founded as Triking Cyclecars Ltd by former Lotus employee Tony Divey (1930 – 2013). He built the first Triking in the late 1970s because he was unable to acquire a Morgan.[1] It featured a steel space frame with alloy panels and a glass-fibre bonnet, and was powered by a Moto Guzzi V-twin motorcycle engine. Its popularity lead to production. In 1990 Divey designed a new tubular front end and a one piece glass-fibre "body".[2]
Telegraph writer, Andrew English, commented of the Triking driving experience: "The intimacy is both profound, delightful and, for the claustrophobic, disturbing. Everything is so contiguous with the driver; you could have sex at a greater distance than this."
Triking Cyclecars Ltd was dissolved in 2006 upon Divey's retirement and was reformed in 2009 by Alan Layzell, a Triking employee.[1
