Three-Wheelers A-Z: The Definitive Encyclopaedia of Three-wheeled Vehicles from 1940 to Date - Hardcover
Synopsis
Three-Wheelers A-Z: the Definitive Encyclopaedia of Three-Wheeled Vehicles From 1940 to Date is packed with unusual, surprising and fascinating machinery. Every single trike made since 1940 is listed – a remarkable 1,122 different types. This essential A-Z reference book tells the fascinating story of a hugely diverse branch of the motoring world, including trikes, bubble cars, microcars, kit cars, high-performance three-wheelers, invalid carriages, prototypes, touring choppers, design exercises, tuk tuks and even flying cars and amphibious vehicles. Three-wheelers have formed a significant and vibrant part of transport history right from the very origins of motoring in 1885, but they are a much-neglected subject in the motoring world. From the AB1 to the Zzipper, this A to Z encyclopaedia is a real romp through a world that’s been under-reported to date. Three-wheelers constantly surprise with their ingenuity. Some of the world’s strangest cars are in the book. For instance, the Thrustcycle has three wheels all in a line with a gyroscope to keep the car upright at zero mph. Or there’s the Inter, whose front wheels folded inwards to make it narrow enough to fit through a doorway. And the Vigillante was built as a 200mph highway pursuit vehicle for the California police. It's also amazing the number of well-known names that have dabbled with the three-wheeler idiom. As well as Morgan, companies like BMW, Ford, Honda, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Peugeot, Renault, Toyota and VW all appear in the book with three-wheeled designs. Three-Wheelers A-Z: the Definitive Encyclopaedia of Three-Wheeled Vehicles From 1940 to Date is written by Chris Rees and published by Quiller Print. It has 240 pages, details 1,122 different three-wheelers and boasts over 1,600 illustrations – a huge proportion never seen before in print.
