Three Wheelers by Malcolm Bobbitt

Three wheelers have played an intrinsic part in the history of the motor vehicle, from Aero Morgans to Coventry Victor, BSA and Reliant. They had their place in motorsport, as well as providing essential transport for thousands of families. A nostalgic look in the rearview mirror at the fascinating and often weird world of the three wheeled car.
Three Wheelers offers a decent historical overview from early three-wheeled bicycles and motorcycles to 21st century prototypes..back in the day, owning and racing a Morgan Runabout was most likely a bundle of fun, but for a family, owning and driving a severely cramped Reliant or Bond was a choice grounded in necessity rather than in fun and pleasure ... Three Wheelers does not shy away from this idea, thereby contributing to social history as well as automotive nostalgia, consequently adding to the book's overall merit. The Flying Lady
