Not quite a Land Rover, Austin Gypsy or even a Toylander,, but compare the styling!  Series 2 door hinges included.

Enjoy.

Quite like the Trekka.  Most of the running gear is Skoda, and operating far beyond it's original intent.

Nice.
It seems to have more steering play than mine though - I don't need to waggle the wheel about like in one of those old American films where they are pretending to drive through a Florida rainstorm. :)

One of the YouTube comments mentioned ‘having six in a Trikka’.
Not the number of passengers either. Try with a NZ iccent.

Is that HubNut's video? I've been subscribed to him since he started restoring that Invacar.

Hi

Tangent time!

I once overtook a convoy of (AC?) invalid tricycles cruising along the M4 to the West of DVLC. Naughty!

I understand they were very difficult vehicles to drive.

Of course, they wouldn't need an MOT now, so maybe there is now a loophole that let's us drive them.

Totally legal to register and drive them now.

They were only banned for use as "invalid carriages" and sent for scrapping, but being mostly fibreglass it wasn't profitable for the scrap man to break, so many just sat around in fields for years until they were rescued.

I seem to remember that they had a "tiller" rather than a steering wheel.

If you are really keen there is a book on the history of the Trekka;
