There was one specific Three-Wheeler-model, which has double round front lamps. It's chromated frame around them has irritated me, because it looked exactly like that of the NSU TT

By their time in Greece was much easier and more practical to deal with German parts and engines than Japanese, however I wouldn't be surprised to discover the exception.. -- Last edit: 2011-02-26 11:34:25
