The 1930 BSA three wheeler was introduced with two
models, a sports and a tourer, supplemented by a four seater family model for
1931. For 1932 there were four models.
The four seater
squeezed two children’s seats in behind the main passenger seats. They were
decidedly child-sized and there was a footwell on one side only for the
larger child to have extra legroom. The seats were deck-chair style canvas
seats rigged between the rear body and bars fixed to the rear wheel cover.
A non-starter was
the Trike Van. A small number were built but there appeared to be a severe
shortage of delivery firms brave enough to try them. One has been re-created
by a Club member. We understand he advertises a feather and balloon delivery
service but has avoided branching out into heavier haulage!
