I am actually quite taken with the idea of acquiring a Kitten(that,s the 4 wheeled version) and putting a big bike engine in it.175 bhp in something that weighs next to nothing would be great fun. :)

........and people expect me to take these cars seriously!!!!!!!! Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin

Well Lizzie, the R.R's surely must be a lot cooler than those pale blue 3-wheel disabled carriages that used to be on the roads !!.  2-stroke, loads of noise and I believe a top speed of 40mph if you were lucky ?. you couldn't carry anything in them !!.
And wouldn't what to think of the lap record if the Stig took one of the around the track  ;D

Have a look at this website then, Robin is a friend of mine and completely mental! His Kitten is currently being upgraded to an LS1 and the lowlight Morris Minor is a gem (and for sale too!).

Many years ago (?) had a disabled mate that when he was 16 was told that he could have one of those carriages if he wanted to, and he could have indepence going to school and about.....

Would love to put what his answer was........

but as they say in printing circles "were not allowed to put into print".

What I can say is part of the answer was "I would rather have my......".  You get the picture !  ::)  ;D.

Like the idea of a big CC bike engine in one of the Robins though.  :y

Sweet....  Love to see the face of a Porshe or Ferrari owner as it gets off the lights quicker than their thousands of pounds machine.

Use the Kitten version with the turbo'ed booster engine.......

Don't get me started on ideas Lee  ;D

There were still around 200 Invacars in daily use around Britain prior to the March 2003 recall and scrapping program. It is now illegal to drive one on the British highway. They were all owned by the Government and leased to disabled drivers as part of their disability benefit, if they so wished. The earlier models took the Villiers motorcycle engine but in the early '70's after their production halted, the Invacar utilised the Steyr-Puch 500cc & 600cc units.
