The Peel Trident was the second microcar made by the Peel Engineering Company on the Isle of Man, first released in 1964. This new model featured two seats instead of the single seat of the previous Peel P50, though it retained a three-wheeled design. The car also had a clear bubble top. It has been described as "a terrestrial flying saucer".
The car was is 183 cm (72 in) long and 107 cm (42 in) wide, with a weight of 90 kg (198 lb). Like the P50, it uses a 49cc DKW engine, but has a greater top speed at 75 km/h (46 mph). It was advertised that the Trident got 40 km to the litre (2.5 l/100 km or 100 miles per gallon), "almost cheaper than walking".[ Visit the complete Wikipedia entry for Peel Trident ]
