Thanks for your messages

I've sent the same post on all forums I'm member of, and regarding answers, it's "fifty / fifty". As far as I'm concerned, I have no idea of which one is the best.

I think that in a first time I won't put the red leather on it, and once the car finished, I'll see if I keep it this way or if I put the red leather on...

My wife prefers without...

Red leather, and do the switch plate too.

I've just finished the red roll around the passenger cell... I've also made the red piping by myself

It's quite a long time since I've post messages on the forum! I've worked a little on my Mosquito.

Last Monday, I've worked on the single wheel trailer...

Have a look at the pics...

The rear suspension is hidden in the chassis. I still have some welding to do and some finishes but it'll be done soon.

Ha ha, that looks awesome! Glad you've managed to do some more work on this, was really enjoying following progress on it before. Must be the most unique project we have on TMF.

definitely a different project

[Damien]

I've drilled holes for rear lights and the suspension has been modified. The shock absorber has changed and is now outside the chassis. The first solution wasn't effective at all

Rear lights would have look nicer if fitted lower but because of the shock absorber, it wasn't possible...

I've also removed the spare wheel as it was not very beautiful.

Fascinating!

Hello,

It's been such a long time since my last visit...

As you can guess, the Mosquito has changed a lot. Now it's painted, and the trailer is finished!











It would be too long to post all pictures here so you can have a look at my website, they're all in the restoration part: http://www.mosquito-triad.com

As you know, I'm interested in finding out all Mosquito and Triad built but now, I'm also looking for Trimin. Three were built and I have nearly no information...

Please, if you have any information regarding those cars, send me an email. Thanks

Thanks for your post enneaitch but I see it just today and the item on eBay is not viewable anymore...

[Damien]

Oh... I forgot to say... Just bought my next project on eBay... a rare Mini-based Siva Moon Bug...

I'm going to London tomorrow to collect it

Hello,

It's a long time since I've left a message here...

I've just finished my new website dedicated to those rare Mini-based three-wheelers: Trimins, Mosquitos and Triads.

www.mosquito-triad.com

When I've created this website 2 and a half years ago, I had knowledge of approximately 9 cars. Today, thanks to a lot of visitors, I've found out 21 cars over a total production of 24 or 25 cars! Some of those cars are now in Australia, Germany or even South Africa!

I'm still looking for the last few missing cars and for any information regarding those cars.

Please, have a look and maybe you'll recognize a car or could give me some interesting informations.

Regarding my Mosquito, the restoration is not finished yet but I've done some work since the last pictures left here. You'll find the pictures on the restoration page of my website.

Thank you very much for your help and enjoy the visit.

Damien
