Aye, this Is "Lady Ruby" she needs the forks rechroming now but thought getting her running right was more important first. Oh yes and the chrome exhausts that were fitted shortly after this was taken :)
Ooooo, that is quite sexy.
I really like its simplicity. Nice and clean.

Cheers, toyed with fitting a body to her but then she would look too similar to other VW trikes out there so think she will stay as is but maybe ill build a fresh motor over the summer.

VW trike

Very nice Simon! :thumbsup:

VW Trikes in particular I think can be difficult to get looking 'right'. all that space up front is tricky to disguise/hide, but that looks great.

Getting close to the look of my all-time favourite VW Engined Trike(s).

Couldn't really get any lower!

Turning circle of a small village, but does it with style :)

Just wondering, if you put it on full lock does its belly lay on the floor? Looks like it's got a skid plate underneath.
