That is amazing, imagine driving back from Holland with those seats. You would be walking around like John Wayne for a week! Do you reckon that is the only one in this country? I'd love to hitch a trailer on it like this:  Install an enormous airhorn and pretend you are a HGV driver (that can only do 15 mph uphill). |

Good grief Stefan. You mean that the other Mr B has let it go?
It's been parked there since 1984...

Erm, wow again!!  What sort of loads can they take? Could you beaver tail one so you could transport light vehicles (i.e. Dafs) on the back? ;D |

Think they can take about 500kg but will have to look into it further, to carry a daf you would have to do something more like the 6 wheeler i posted.
It would be very slow and take a long time so better seats would also be needed.

They Will hold 750kg not 500kg and a daf 33 is 670kg dose not leave many kg's to make a beaver tail. not sure what the tow limit is for the articulated ones.

John and MacP - no, it isn't/wasn't John's Pony - this one is nearer to home...
And Joe, I can confirm that it was driven to Derbyshire from Holland - in 1984.

i know this is a bit of a thread revival but out of interest.. the park keepers at Gildredge Park in eastbourne had a pony which was used for getting round the park... painted in a nato green sort of colour. they also had a selection of weird three wheeled things
