I was recently sent this link. For some of the images, the only comment I can make is "no comment".

Some real oddities there but I'm surprised he didn't include the gyrocar,



or the Fordson Snow Motor.

Hi
8 reminds me of the mini southdowns that used to run around on Brighton seafront.

11 seems to be an earlier version of the Burgh Island Sea Tractor.

15 I have seen a railway maintenance trike like that, It was at the railway museum in Swindon before they moved to the new site at STEAM.

16 I think Blackpool still have at least one of the boat trams.

29 and 32 What's strange about a Bond Minicar or a Lister Platform truck with multiple trailers? (OK the latter didn't (or should that be don't?) normally carry passengers.

I lived on Streatham High Rd during the war, and cars with gas bags on the roof were a common sight.
