Triking is the common name for the Triking Sports Cars, the United Kingdom based manufacturer of the 3-wheeled Triking Cyclecar, located in Hingham, Norfolk, formerly in Marlingford, Norfolk. Trikings are essentially a modern version of the 1930s Morgan three-wheelers, and a cross between a sports car and a microcar. ==History== V-twin motorcycle engine]] Triking Sports Cars was founded as Triking Cyclecars Ltd by former Lotus employee Tony Divey (1930 - 2013). He built the first Triking in the late 1970s because he was unable to acquire a Morgan. It featured a steel space frame with alloy panels and a glass-fibre bonnet, and was powered by a Moto Guzzi V-twin motorcycle engine. Its popularity led to production. In 1990 Divey designed a new tubular front end and a one piece glass-fibre "body". Telegraph writer, Andrew English, commented of the Triking driving experience: "The intimacy is both profound, delightful and, for the claustrophobic, disturbing. Everything is so contiguous with the driver; you could have sex at a greater distance than this." Triking Cyclecars Ltd was dissolved in 2006 upon Divey's retirement and was reformed in 2009 by Alan Layzell, a Triking employee. ==See also== List of car manufacturers of the United Kingdom Three-wheeler Cyclecar Motorcycle motor powered car List of motorized trikes Morgan 3-Wheeler ==Notes== ==External links== Triking Sports Cars official site Triking at 3wheelers.com Alan Layzell and Triking Sports Cars
