Spot the influences

How many different vehicles can you spot that "influenced" this Heinkel "prototype"?

I see a Siata Spring in there amongst the other more obvious elements

Well it is not anything from a Heinkel, as I cannot see anything from a Heinkel on it, other than the badge. I think this is a false flag operation.

Hi Jim

It looks to me like a mini front sub-frame, engine and suspension, with front wheel drive. I think Al is right only the badge comes from a Heinkel

how on earth did that get registered in the uk as a 1957 Heinkel historic vehicle ?

Dave H has had this tried on him, but refused. He is the Treinkel stamper, the privilege laying with the Trojan Archive Trust, rather than the HTC Ltd. So its come from another qualified agent or an existing V5 has been co opted.

I see that the uk tax expired in '02 , that sort of thing is what led to the now very strict conditions for registering vehicles

I've seen, at the NMCR a few years ago, a three-wheeler "Bond", with no discernible Bond parts at all,  and its Japanese rear-mounted engine driving the single rear wheel.

I assume that the builder started with a Bond V5, and reported that he'd changed the engine, the colour, and the body, in separate stages?

Yes I remember that. I think this is a bit more difficult now though. To many changes flag up an inspection. Building a Trike is now not simple so folk look for ways round the rules.
