People are forever doing strange things to perfectly ordinary cars, and turning an already quirky microcar into a tricycle ranks among the more head-scratching examples. The diminutive two-seater was unusual enough to begin with, so reconfiguring it to roll on three wheels only deepens the mystery of what the builder was ultimately trying to achieve.
Bizarre projects like this are part of the charm of an automotive culture that rewards creativity, however puzzling. Not every build needs a practical justification; sometimes the point is simply to do something unexpected and provoke a reaction. Whether you find the result clever or baffling, there is a certain appeal in a creation that exists mostly to make passersby stop and wonder why anyone bothered.
