My thanks go to Terry for the models. Terry writes:
On 28 March 2004 we held a road-run which I had organised and which I called "Microcars in Motion" . My chosen Start venue was at Michaels of Selby , the North's largest Reliant dealership and now agents for the french-built MICROCAR . Michaels were very hospitable and 18 microcars attended . That's 6 Heinkel/Trojans , 4 Isettas , 3 Messerschmitt KR200s , 2 Tri-tech Schmitts , 1 BMW 600 , 1 Lomax and 1 early Fiat 126. We then had a 38 mile drive through the picturesque villages and by-roads to the south of York .
Our finish point was at Squires Cafe/Bar at Sherburn-in Elmet , which is mainly devoted to motorcyclists but who made us very welcome . Our microcars were arrayed in their car park among their usual 200 - 300 motorbike visitors . As a momento of "Microcars in Motion" I developed a paper cut-out Robin and an A4 sheet of the model was given to each run participant for them to cut fold and paste when they got home .
I am attaching the graphic file for the "Microcars in Motion " Robin ... Having completed the graphics for the "Microcars In Motion" Robin well in advance of the event , I had become quite enthralled with the paper model idea , so using the Robin as a template for wheel positions and general dimensions I spent some time developing it into a Trotter-type van .And from there ... a 3-wheelers.com van was a logical progression .
