hello,yes it is a bmw.i bought 3 all told and had a lot of fun with them.50 mile a hour.sun roof,what more can you expect,the only probs was some
had no rev gear,so if you drove into the garage to close to the wall,tuff.you was stuck,unless you got out the roof,one we took the body off and made a gocart,which we used on the old sewer farm lea hall.
my mates if you could call them that,played me up by putting it on the back of wagens,in skips,between ballards.wish i still had one now. pete

I wanted one of those in the late 1950s , but the Wife said buy that and I'll never get in it:rolleyes: so in the end I lost the Wife and got a new Mini in 1960:)

Experience

I WOULD LIKE A RIDE IN ONE OR TO DRIVE ONE JUST FOR THE EXPERIENCE. Sorry about the caps, too tired...:)... Cat
 
re bubble car

Catkin,they were great fun to drive,if the front door was not closed and locked properly when you braked hard,you shot out the front,and ended up
in the road, pete
 
What a laugh

I think most folk would have laughed at that Pete then rushed to help. I'm laughing now:D:D:D...........Cat:)
 
Peter. My teacher had one very much like that one but it was so long ago I cannot remember the chrome bars on the sides. The way you describe it and your wild mischievous adventures with it would make a very good comedy, better than anything I have ever seen before. As for the girl well she was too upper crust I am sure.
 
re bmw bubble car

HI,all i did not laugh at the time,i drove into sheldon heath garage,braked and shot out on to the forcourt i felt a right plonker.thats how i found out about the door.erni i was not bothered,if she prefered the bus to my bema. pete
 
Peter. She lost a lot of laughs not staying with you, if she gets on the forum she may want to get back with you. (even though the car is no longer around.)
 
re bmw

na,stuck up c*w. the tv prog hearbeat, she had on identical to mine..ernie i worked at a scrapyard in brum at the week ends feching in the bangers,but becouse i am such a junk collector most of the wrecks ended up in the council yard were the tenants was to park there cars one day a man from the council come to the house and said if you dont get rid of the cars,we will and charch you.there was all kinds,austin,moris,standard,vauxhall,wolesley.hillman.humber.singer.the lot.greengrass eat you heart out. pete
 
Peter. I had an old spare wheel I used to bleed the brakes and change the fluid, well the tyre perished so I could no longer use it. They would no way take it at the local tip ( I told the man if that was the case there will be tyres dumped all around the country.) I took it to a local garage and they charged me £2. A week later there were dozens of old tyres dumped on a pretty road that run along by the River Welland to Spalding. Is there really no solution to these types of problems?
 
re bmw

my massey.but i have my eye on another

Peter. I would love to try it. I did no way mean to mock you only to make you laugh. I guess we would certainly get up to some tricks if we were together.

Hey Pete,
Wasn't there a three-wheeler Berkley that had a big supercharger mounted on the front?

re bmw

Pete,
The one I was thinking about was this with a big lump of an outboard turbocharger fitted in front of the grill (can't find a piccy of the actual one). You can see more of them at: https://tinyurl.com/2goecj
