It seems similar to the old PPV rental vehicles; but the entire body and steering mechanics was different. That is NOT a PPV, just almost the same side-y-side socialable tandem trike. I had one of the early PPVs that was rented here in the US and it barely reached 10 mph since it was so heavy. Too wide for much use for me. I rode it in a parade then sold it. ut a Yahoo! group about PPVs is still very active I think.

Great bunch of photos. I just cannot avoid the camera- what a terrific surprise to see myself!

It looks very much like someone has updated the PPV concept though.....

PPV, Three (3) Wheel Recumbent Trike, Alternative Transportation, Velomobile

Waaaaaay out of my price range, but certainly possible for the creative home builder to build something like it

EXCELLENT! Someone shared that link a few years ago, but when I looked for it later it was gone and no one saved it. Our town had 3 PPVs in the early 1970s (mine was one, but the body disintegrated years ago), and I would like them to try again using this ad to let them know it is a new vehicle and not restored.
