It's for sale not far   'Heartbeat' country ... wonder if it was ever used as  an extra  :D The one the seller  says he is currently restoring (Triumph Tigress) is no oil painting either , my brother had one in the 60's, it had a 250cc  twin four-stroke engine as I remember. Painted in some polychromatic or. whatever they called,  it light blue. Yes it does have a look of the Scammell three wheel truck ( there is one of those in  Hull's 'Streetlife Museum').

What was that funny little scooter thing used in 'Rebel without a Cause' ( James Dean's sidekick Plato) was it a Cushman or something like that. [ Guests cannot view attachments ]
