Turner By-Van


After WW2, the Turner company of Wolverhampton decided that what the ordinary merchant wanted was a light delivery van, probably as light and narrow as a motorcycle. This thing, basically a big metal box on two wheels, was the result. Taking a page from the  Phänomen playbook, the engine was mounted on the steering head and drove the front wheel. Understandably, people stayed away from it but the three wheel Tri Van was better accepted. Full story here.

    (I wonder where the C.G. of the empty By-van is ...)
