Wow! Fabulous pic but strange they didn't manage to fit a pair or 'Thrush Pipes' to it somehow, I'm glad they didn't though.

The muffler on that Berry is huge. It looks like it might be a Corvair turbo

Finding a Berry Mini-T isn't difficult, the challenge would be to find a C-Cab. Brigand in Portland had this top. A mold could probably be splashed from it. Then you could be a C-cab Mr Natural
Here's a video of a Berry C-cab

I have never been able to decide whether they were so ugly that they were cute or the other way around! I do know that they grab everyone's attention without fail.
Would I own one for a boulevard cruiser or a parade car? Oh ya! Take it out of town? Not likely, can you imagine the resonant drumming inside that thing from wind turbulence at freeway speeds?
If it was mine it would be all costumed up flashy with a Briggs and Stratton in the back (1200cc) and get trailered from event to event. |

I don't know how I missed that a couple months ago, but too cool! I'm going to do some updating on my purple Mini-T (sadly, no C cab) over the winter. They aren't built for comfort, but I've liked the cartoon styling since I was a kid.

Just think, all those young people in that photo are now approaching retirement. Like me...a little ahead of them, (but not much!). On our 2nd date (we've been married almost 40 years now) my wife to be wore a pair of sandals very similar to those on the girl to camera right and I wore a shirt similar to the one on the guy leaning on the engine and front of the roof.. Odd, the things you notice...
Gotta love those headers on that buggy. Not to mention the blown V8 they're connected to...

It’s a strange small world sometimes. After I get home Wednesday evening I see the neighbor’s dog run past the place at a full gallop. It’s a very friendly thing, about 2 years old and full of energy. She is not supposed to be out so I decide to go get her. I grab a leash and jump on my bike and head up the road in the direction she passed. I left the garage door open as I wasn’t going far.
Around the corner and up the street a short way I see a neighbor has got her on a lead in his front yard. I stop and talk and he agrees to walk the dog back to my place where she can hang out in my fenced backyard until my next door neighbor gets home from work. When we get to my driveway he looks a bit surprised at the Mini-T in the garage. He pulls out his phone and shows me a picture of a car in the family that he tell me he is likely to be getting soon. The car is a glitter flake purple Berry Mini-T, like mine, but better. It has the matching purple C-cab top! 
I have never even seen a picture of a purple Berry C-Cab before Wednesday. I've searched Google plenty of times looking for Berry C-Cabs. Now one may find a home just around the corner from me!
