Carver One


Something different today as I spotted a Carver One while heading out to get the lunch time sandwich from work.

I have to confess I know very little about the Carver other than from a Top Gear test a few years ago, so a google and wikipedia search was needed for a little more research;

From Wikipedia;

The Carver is a tilting three wheeled vehicle using an automatic balancing technology to balance the passenger compartment under all conditions. The first commercial Carver product, the Carver One, was designed to seat two people, and manufactured and distributed by Carver Europe (formerly named Vandenbrink) in the Netherlands. In June 2009 however the company reportedly declared bankruptcy, and ceased commercial production and sales.

Surprisingly large (look how much of the parking space it takes up, it makes an interesting curio which I would love to have a drive of, but I can't see myself ever wanting to own one.
