Hi there, I'm Matt and to clear any air of mystery, I'm based in Burnley.

I've been interested in Trikings since reading an article in the Telegraph back in 2012 (https://www.telegraph.co.uk/motoring/ne ... -test.html). My original plan was to build one myself, however plans changed following a divorce.

I've purchased a Type 3, built back in 2015 based on a California and modified to take a car rear wheel by it's second owner between 2018 and 2020. I intend to get my tinkering fix with a few modifications of my own.

It's been bought to be used, so I drove it back from Derbyshire to Lancashire on an fantastic route, along the A6, through Bakewell and Buxton and up to Glossop. I learned a great deal about the car on that trip!

I'll get some pictures up shortly and hopefully I can get some help as I have a couple of issues to get fixed...let the tinkering commence!

A few snaps from the journey home:

Congratulations Matt, super choice with the T3.
Love the colours!
Let's hope we can meet up in Buxton next year.

Hey
We saw your car at the Haynes Museum during our 2016 Somerset Triking meet.
Look forward to seeing it again!
