When I was looking for a proper ABC Tricar to photograph for Maximum Mini 2 ages ago, I made a little list with cars known (see it here). But as this is some 10 years now (!) I thought it would be time for an update, as there is much more known now and with recent Tricar activity stirring it up, too.
So here we go. This is the list of cars that I know of now - a total of 15 cars, while 24 were supposedly made. Who can ad more?
TFD 47G - The prototype. This car has been found and is under restoration now. (more here)
