Film buffs might recall the strong-man's vehicle in Fellini's La Strada,
which I think might have been based on a Harley Davidson



A curious thing about the Reliant I think - they made their own engine
to suit the car. It was all-aluminium, and looked a lot like an
Austin/Morris but only 750cc. They are sometimes seen now in home made
specials.

Speaking of 3 wheelers in movies - seen The Party, with Peter Sellers
driving a Morgan in the final scenes?
