Remember this? A three-wheel car that leans

Spotted on eBay; yours for £29,975

Tweet
Posted: 16 November 2010
by Tim Skilton .


IF YOU'VE EVER fancied one of these three-wheel wonders then now's your chance, as one has cropped up on eBay for a modest £29,975.

The Carver is a cunning cross between a car and motorbike, which is capable of leaning around corners, much like a regular two-wheeler. Check out Richard Hammond's synopsis of the weird machine in the video.

Powered by a Daihatsu 660cc turbo-charged engine, the Carver can accelerate from 0-60mph in 8.5 seconds and has a top speed of 115mph.

The one on sale is a 2008 model in black - full details can be seen here.

Can any eagle-eyed readers spot where Hammond's testing the Carver?
