You don't see one of these too often, a cycle car. A Velorex, from memory made in Czechoslovakia two stroke twin motorcycle engine of approx 250cc. Has fabric panels and bonnet. Thought the tow bar was a little optimistic! Rather cramped for two up front.

When you're faced with an unpleasant task that you really don't want to do, sometimes you just have to dig deep down inside and somehow find the patience to wait for someone else to do it for you.

Thanks for the photos, great to see.
My biggest car regret was not acting when I saw a late 20s Packard abandoned and rusting away in the bush near North Richmond NSW in 1979. It was an amazing car to see, with the most opulent passenger section I had ever seen in a car. Tapestry-like cloth trim with what looked more like a lounge as the back seat and also curtains. Memory is a loose thing but I think it had 2 spares on the sides but was definitely a straight 8. Hopefully someone saved it. First and only straight 8 I have seen not in a photo.
I was straightening out my LJ GTR at the time and going to Ag college and wasn't thinking about doing up vintage cars. 2 years later and there was a 28 Chev businessman's roadster in pieces in the garage😁.
