2015-09-13 16:05		Only street legal car (although it looks like few motorbike parts mashed together and covered with rag) that have rag as a bodyshell.
They did them before 1955, but as a Os-Kar (Car on axis (osa)) 53.
Half of them were exported.
It appeared on Top Gear: www.imcdb.org/i203926.jpg and Jeremy didnt like it.
It had 4 gears forward and 4 reverse - engine could run on opposite way, so someone with suicide thoughts could theoretically ride in this 3-wheeled tent backwards at 85 km/h.
It had major role in movie Vrchní, prchni (Head waiter, get lost), when it was second car of main character with Lada.
Well, that are some facts about this interesting car.
