Hi Renaud
It’s not unknown!
Not a great picture but this “three wheeler” was built here in Llandrindod for the 1938 International 6 day motorcycle trial. Based on a Ruby the rear axle was narrowed so that there was only room for the diff and spring hangers. So although it has 4 wheels it conformed to “tricycle” rules. It was called the Heywood special and is well documented in “The Source Book”.
It returns to Llandrindod most years for the Victorian festival classics car show. In 2019 we followed it on a drive through the town.
Cheers
Howard
