This is the one & only Carver I've seen for sale. If only I had a spare £30k burning a hole in my pocket.  ;D ;D

Black's a bit boring though.

4 wheels good, 2 wheels better, 3 wheels is just wrong. ;) :)

 ;D ;D I didn't mean it to come across like that.
It does look precarious but still 'better' than the super cars in Clarkson's comparison tests.  :y :y

Fascinating machine. Cars leen the wrong way, they just do.

I must have a thing for three wheels then. I have my unfinished project in the garage with three wheels and also like the look of the Piaggio MP3 (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/2007-PIAGGIO-MP3-125-BLACK-6372-MILES-CAR-LICENCE-ONLY-/300524507607?pt=UK_Motorcycles&hash=item45f8a811d7#ht_994wt_1139)   :-[ :-[
 ;D ;D ;D ;D



off topic ..... the link above suggests you 'can drive it on a car license cos it's classed as a trike' That must surely be wrong otherwise you wouldn't need a helmet  :-/ :-/ :-/ :-/ Don't the 2 wheels need to be a certain distance apart before it's considered a trike? :-/

Not sure on the wheel distance thing Andy.  I was always under the understanding that it was the number of wheels, not the distance apart but - age and red vino do have effects, apparently.....    ;D

I think the wheels have to be ten inches apart, so it will be an official trike - no skid lid & drive it on a car licence then!  :y
Title: Re: A Carver .....
Post by: ballcock50 on 09 February 2011, 23:15:26
I believe the classification of a trike was two wheels in line or on the same axle. But could be wrong.

I saw this the other week as well. Company went bust in '09 and only 200 were ever built.

I would love one but i'd just spend all day going around roundabouts :y
