Is it British?
Yes, it is.
Promoted!
Is this the Kip trike?
I'm afraid its name is not Kip, no.
This is the rear of it, I'm sure, but I only have an enigmatic 'Kif'' next to it. Hey ho, my filing system!
Then again. maybe it#s not the same car
I don't think so - mine does have a quite specific name, anyway.
Found it - it's Tony Bradwell's Fireblade-based trike
That's not a specific name, is it? ;)
You may well have found the answer, but I'd like you to prove it. My source does not mention anything about Tony Bradwell, and as I've said - I'd like a specific name!
It's pictured in a kit car magazine only this month and all it says is the information I've given.
That is interesting!
Can you provide a scan?
I'll have to go and out but the mag now!
What was that sentence? :D
I'd take your word for it, but as my source doesn't mention the name Tony Bradwell, and states a specific name, I'll leave it for now.
I've just stumbled across the exact same photograph that you've used of this car, and it is labelled as the Tony Bradwell Fireblade Trike, as Quiller suggested some months back.
Hmmm, the plot thins! I have an owner's e-mail address and could e-mail him to ask what he believes his car to be called, but that's just not cricket so I'll do the gentlemanly thing and let the mystery continue.....
The thing is this: My picture was taken from an eBay ad, where it was advertised for sale as built by the current owner. It could be a kit, which means that there would be more of them, but it doesn't really look like a kit - especially not in the other picture I've got of it, which is a rear-end one. In the ad, from June last year, it's listed with a specific name that has not yet been mentioned.
Here's the other pic:
Short of locating Tony Bradwell, I'm not sure the answer will present itself. :'(
On the plus side, great to see you back on the forum @re :)
Thanks - it's been a while... :P
tweet tweet
Tweet indeed.
Time for a little clue. Its name is somewhat related to its colour(s)...
Bee, Stinger or Wasp?
Yes... I'm considering whether that'll be good enough to give you the points. Nobody's been closer :)
Bumblebee?
(if correct, points to Paul Jaray please as I'm just guessing based on what he has said)
I just shoot some possibilities (breaking the Erba's rule...) but I just followed the hints, this one has been around for too long!
Actually, I agree with Paul Jaray. This one has been around for too long.
It was put up for sale on eBay in June, 2008 as a Stinger Mk 2. PJ did in fact guess Stinger, so he gets a couple of points for that.
So, another puzzle laid to rest - only the Swede in #484 remaining!
Here's the eBay ad (it has been deleted a long time ago):
Never too late...
According to the Beaulieu Encyclopedia:
STINGER (GB) 1994-1996
Tony Bradwell, Stratford-on-Avon, Warwickshire
The stinger was a sports 3-wheeler mating a BMW motorbike rear end with the front end of the Sylva Striker kit car.
