Rumour has it there's a Porshe 911 trike out there...
I've seen it... its orange!
Very very tidy job 911 back end blade front, sitting quietly in the back of someone garage.
Nutty Norman did one years ago. :)
Saw it again at Trike Day at the Ace in 2008 too.

I think it belongs to a guy called Tango.
I have seen it on another forum.

Naa, as long as there's no rear window it'll be fine.
I used to smoke the pink Beach Bastard that Chris Ireland built occasionally and it was a right giggle. :)

It's such a laugh to ride - it handles f'kingly appallingly and you crack yer 'ead on the roof every time you get in or out, but everyone who sees it waves and smiles and you can't help grinning all the time. :)

Would love that it, if it is half as good to ride as it looks it would do it for me. only thing is i would probably wrap it and me round a tree.

Hi Guys...Its mine!:thumbsu:
It does run a flat four, cos it would be a waste of a 911 engine..It also has pop out windows to aleviate drag..2 years to build using no special tools other than a decent mig welder.
Enjoy, and see you around.

The back end reminds me of those futuristic plastic armchairs & tellys that came out in the early 1970s.....
Not normally keen on car-engined trikes but that's fabulous,
Top job :cool:

Haha...Yes I know what you mean!..They are two tillet Kart seats glassed in and smoothed out...Not mega comfy tho!!!...Only good for kids and midgets too cos you'll nut yourself on the rear screen.
By the way its 1300 Vw powered, not bike engined.
If the right offer comes along I would part with it. I built it for the challenge, but now a 400bhp street legal beetle needs my attention. If it doesnt sell, I will probably turn up at a few shows next year, so please come over guys and make yourselves known.
