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.

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😁.
