I don't know how old the article is but the first comments were 2010. The Whomobile (Alien) was sold for £12oo around that time!

Interesting. I am surprised that he was able to auction if after being given it. Maybe he needed the money. I would not have let it go for that much even if it had never been on any show.

A proper trike is more stable than a car, by the way, The weight must be at the two wheeled end, and be as low as possible, car standard heights works, reverse delta works best, and front wheel drive works best, as rear wheel drive pushes on the outside wheel in a turn, causing instability. The Can Am 3 wheel motorcycle is exactly how NOT to make a trike. ;)

This is true. The Lotus Espirit used in the James Bond money was purchased for nearly nothing after being found in an abandoned trailer. It was just lost. It's now being restored. I read somewhere that the price was very low, and it is being restored to working condition, and will be going into a museum.
