Buyer's Premium:

This lot comprises two custom-built off-road utility vehicles constructed from a combination of motorcycle and all-terrain vehicle components. The primary item is a dark green three-wheeled trike featuring a tubular steel frame. It is fitted with knobby off-road tyres, including the Scorpion and Kenda brands. Propulsion is provided by a rear-mounted, single-cylinder petrol engine with a pull-start and a chain drive to a solid rear axle. The vehicle is fitted with a black vinyl high-back seat, a front wire cargo basket, and a fuel tank repurposed from a green pressurised cylinder. Handlebars feature motorcycle-style twist-throttle and brake controls. The secondary vehicle is a quad-style utility chassis equipped with independent front suspension, dual A-arms, and red coilover shocks. No Vehicle Identification Numbers (VIN) or registration plates are present.

The odometer reading was not visible during inspection; therefore, the mileage is unverified.


Condition report:

Both vehicles display signs of heavy use and bespoke fabrication. Surface oxidation is visible on the steel frames and exposed mechanical components. The mechanical condition of the engines is untested. Mismatched components and hardware are evident throughout the builds.
