welbike Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 AD is Gloucester County Council, but have no lists on the number, difficult one! But would say around 1908. Cheers, Lex 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dog Blamer Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 It appears to be a Forecar of some kind. Exactly who made it I have no idea, sorry. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dog Blamer Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 (edited) I keep going back to the picture and AC keeps popping into my head but I can't find a picture of one like this. Also been looking up Tricar with no results. I think what we might be looking at is a special bodied one and that means really hard to identify. I cannot see anything with the rear frame quite like that in the search results. My advice is contact the VMCC seeing as this appears to be motorcycle derived. Such vehicles are sometimes in the Banbury Run. Edited November 14, 2022 by Dog Blamer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MatchFuzee Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 I wonder if it was based on a Léon Bollée tricycle. https://www.gettyimages.co.uk/detail/news-photo/voiturette-of-1895-by-french-automobile-manufacturer-leon-news-photo/1235175735 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
