Trikings are essentially a modernised version of the 1930s Morgan three-wheelers. They are also in practice a cross between a sports car and a microcar. Former Lotus employee Tony Divey built the first Triking in the late 1970s in response to being unable to acquire a Morgan. The original Triking featured a steel space frame with an alloy panels and glass-fibre bonnet, and was powered by a Moto Guzzi V-twin motorcycle engine. This proved popular and production eventuated. In 1990 Divey redesigned the Cyclecar with a new tubular front end and a one piece glass-fibre "body". Known as the 'Rolls Royce of Three-Wheelers', the Triking is still in production yet remains quite exclusive with approximately 200 built since 1978.
