Tricycles are very popular at the moment. As you have read earlier in this magazine, big names like Ettore Bugatti started their career with a three-wheeled vehicle.
On the 15th of April 2018, the third edition of Barnards Trike day will take place. Organized by De Dion Bouton club and sponsored by PreWarCar.com. Previous years, it was a huge success and we are hoping for another fantastic day.
The last few auctions that we went to, we noticed the prices are quite high for vehicles that are no more than a few tubes and a small engine. At the Retromobile 2018 auction of Artcurial, new records were set but what we noticed is that the prices have been high for some years now. If you compare the 1901 Singer Motorwheel which was sold in 2009 at Brightwells for £32,500 and in 2007 an almost similar one was sold for £65,340.
Of course, there are a lot of different types of trikes. The Renaux is an amazing machine and the Prinetti e Stucchi has the name Ettore Bugatti on it and also the condition is different but we are curious to know if the prices will rise.
One thing is for sure, after an event like the Barnards trike day, we want one ourselves!
