It's threewheeler time again!

For one point, please respond and identify the builder, the base of this car and the year it was built.

I'm so sorry, Wendax.  No is "nogat", according to the Tok Pisin/English Dictionary.

Tok Pisin "no" means "not".

That's the car. Locked for you to find the Humber it is based on.

What I emphasized on was the fact that it wasn't based on a Humber car, but on a Humber 6 hp motorcycle as you can read in the attached article.
