Lire, construire et conduire un cyclecar

Lire un livre sur la construction d'un cyclecar est une chose, mais en construire un est une tâche beaucoup plus difficile. Mais Tim Gunn l'a fait. Et pourquoi pas ? Quiconque connaît Tim ou regarde l'émission télévisée "The Repair Shop" sait de quoi il est capable.

 

Cyclecar Grafton de 1919

 

Récemment, Robert de Gasolini a visité l'atelier de Tim pour parler de son cyclecar Grafton de 1919. Profitez de la vidéo.

 

Et si vous voulez en construire un vous-même, Tim a fait des copies du livre que vous pouvez commander ici.

The Gunn family are well known in VSCC circles, Tim`s father did some machining for me on a replica vintage Austin Seven supercharged engine a long time ago and Tim did some work for me on my Vintage Bentley projects. It was a real pleasure to meet him, look around the farm and all those projects that he was working on.
These cyclecars are so evocative of the early years of motoring and looking at the video got my juices flowing so that I will definitely buy his book.
I would love to build one but would I drive it on the public roads on skimpy brakes and skinny tyres like that? That`s a different question!
If you would like to read all about building at the other end of the scale, have a look at my website vintage bentley blog. no book available.
Well done Tim,
Alan

This is such a brilliant creation, every time I see it, or film I just go weak at the knees. If only I could find enough bits to make a start! Thanks so much Tim.
