I agree!
Most modern trikes leave the rear half open like a motorcycle for looks. I like the idea of the tube-frame going all the way back. |

Since this one follows a more utilitarian approach, leaving the rear half more enclosed sounds more sensible. The newer ones based on sports motorcycles being meant basically to show-off, it's no surprise its builders want to leave the guts exposed. |

This time I'm doing two posts from one JACG story. They are about Nubar Gulbenkian's cars. The Rolls-Royce with front wheel skirts and a laid-back grille is in Interesting Aerodynamic Cars.
Here is the London taxi with a Rolls-Royce engine swap:
