Very interesting and unique. I think the design was really nice for the time period.  Shame it did not move forward.

Another I haven't seen before John! Strange looking, even for back then. I understand the reason for a three wheeled concept but never took to many of them.

Yes. The three-wheel Morgan is a great car, no matter the number of wheels. That was my first exception. The '55 Messerschmidt would be second, and last!

Another dream and a pile of money never to see fruition.

It's definitely different.  I don't recall ever seeing a 3 wheeled vehicle I'd be interested in other than a trike. But a car, no.😊

I always love to dig around and see what else I can find for Johns incredible selections. This one is interesting because I cant really find anything more other than slightly reworded comments to the ones in Johns link. Here's a couple of cross section pics.
