Dragonfly [3]

Dragonfly Cars was a small manufacturer based in Toton, Nottinghamshire, United Kingdom, known for producing a Morgan-style three-wheeler trike.

The vehicle was built as a one-off but was planned to be offered as a kit car. It stood out among three-wheelers for closely recreating the form of the F-Type Morgan. Its construction featured a Z-section steel ladder frame chassis and sliding pillar front suspension that was an exact copy of the original Morgan system. The 1930s appearance was further reinforced by the use of wheels borrowed from the Morris 8.

Mechanically, the car used a Hillman Imp steering rack, while the rear wheel was suspended on a Honda CX500 swinging arm. Power came from a Reliant Robin 848cc engine and gearbox, which was connected through the Honda CX shaft drive to the rear wheel. The bodywork was of simple construction, made by skinning a plywood frame with steel.
