the giant 8 man tricycle 1898 (VIM tyres)

[Ray B.]

Well done!
From what I read, it was build for a promotional campaign for these tires, and I'm not sure if it was functional at all.

Who knows this strange monster tricycle and why does look like it does?

An 8-man tricycle of the late 1890s. It may have been a promotional vehicle for ZIM, the tire manufacturer.

O.K. - it is VIM, not ZIM.

But that´s definitly enough for a point!

That's a big OOPS! Thanks for the tolerance.
