Cool, has anyone here ever driven one or a 3 wheel truck similar? I’ve heard they are not easy.

I've driven a Piaggio Ape 50 of this type:

I would think that the ape's scooter style front fork, short wheelbase and small wheels would make it twitchy. the goliath has a better steering arm set-up but then with a top speed of 37mph I'm sure it would be hard to lift a wheel when cornering

not sure it would be rare, uncommon maybe. the cherry range was a top seller in the uk and europe but I can't find any figures for how many coupes produced/sold. _________________ "we're here on Earth to fart around" kurt vonnegut

That looks very close to the first B210s we saw here! 1200cc with a 4 speed. _________________ We had the stone age, the bronze age, the industrial age and now we are in the age of mass deception and mind control for corporate profit. (The mass media age) |

German crime drama TV show "Der Kommissar", season 2 episode 1 "Der Papierblumenmoerder" (1970). Translated The Commissioner, the paper flower murder. Show takes place in the overall Munich, Germany area. IMDB does not list the exact city nor the junkyard location.
If you look past the three Splitties, the left small bus can be one of a few from the 1950's with that general style on which I guessed and ultimately identified. I could not guess the center one with the trapezoidal grill at first but did find it.

Left one is a Lloyd LT, center one is a Ford Taunus Transit.

Looks like maybe a notchback under that Neckar. _________________ nothing |
