Needs a drop of Tcut, but I don't think I've seen another in Wandsworth!

Good heavens! There cannot be many of those in UK, let alone just down the road from me! I normally dislike single front-wheelers, but Goliaths have a charmingly cheeky look

Sorry but no Richard, it doesnt. It looks like a cross between a Gordon and a giant invalid carriage! :P But it would be a boring world if there was no variation in tastes!

Bob, I think that LD might not be referring to the car's body work in the B&W photo! Agree that it does look a bit like an IC or Gordon, but looks a bit nicer than either. However it is not what I would class as particularly useful or dynamic.

Bit of a weak spot on these if a stone hits the headlight. They fall over and stop working. A David is better, hombre.

The front wheel strut and suspension looks like it would have a goodly amount of play and flex.
