Yet another ancient threewheeler, still not a repost.

For one point, please respond and identify this car.

Not a Cyklonette.

Now that the two well known ones are excluded you can start looking for the puzzle car.  ;)

Looking forward to the answer as I have a number of photos in my records which seem very similar to this photo which are labelled cca 1904 Cyklon Cyklonette 3.5 HP.   Regards

It certainly was influenced by the Cyklonette, but it is a different car by a different maker.

The bespectacled young woman is saying to the proud owner-driver,

"According to my engineering professor, the single wheel should be at the back of a three-wheeler, because this configuration is inherently unstable."

Owner-driver: "See, this is why women should never be allowed to study or go to university. It just causes trouble. Do I suggest to you that you do cross-stitch the wrong way round?"

"Well, no, but..."

"No but, nothing. I'm stopping. Get out."

Trike stops. Woman alights. Trike roars off.

Woman thinks: "Damn. Why can't I learn to shut up? Who cares where the wheels are? His father is a shipping magnate."
