This is my new trike as I bought her.

Bruce has sawn of the old front end and pretty well built a new frame - it's only tacked together atm and difficult to see in his crowded workshop but she's looking better already!

And now she has a name! I was thinking that only Bruce could turn such an ugly duckling into a swan, so Ducky she is!

It's certainly looking better already. :smt001
What engine is it?
Looks like an old BMC unit, is it a 998/1275 Mini ?

It's a 998 mini auto - the 'auto' is the only reason I'm going for a car engined trike, well that and the reverse gear.

I don't like the look of looong trikes. Short and stumpy trikes are cool looking (car or bike). What you have done with this is excellent. I am sure it is going to be a very good looking trike.
