I was interested to see the article about Lomaxes, of which I’ve owned three, in the last issue. Are they a motorcycle, and if so, is my similarly converted but somewhat nippier ‘Tritanic’ Mini three-wheeler?
B180 CGF started life as a 1985 998cc Austin Mini that was acquired by Anthony Anchors of Newbury. He built the stern section out of English oak with copper fittings, and modified it to a tricycle layout.
This builder has constructed several other unique bodies on Mini bases, including a miniature double-decker bus!
