With a user name of delboy it is a clue that I have always had a fascination for 3 wheelers, when I was 14 I used to see a Berkeley T60 parked on my way to school. I used to think it looked great just like a 3 wheel E-type. At 14 I had already brought myself an Ariel Arrow 250cc motorbike in bit's that I want to have ready for my 16th birthday. Back then you could ride a motorcycle up to 250cc at 16. To cut a long story short at midnight on my 16th birthday I went for my first (Official) ride on it. I had quite a few motorbikes but they were cold and wet, so I remembered the Berkeley T60 3 wheeler that I had much lusted after at age 14. The law at that time allowed you to drive a 3 wheeler on a motorcycle licence. So I went out and brought a knackered Berkeley which was totally unreliable but when it was going it kept me warm and dry. (sorry can't find any pictures of my first Berkeley)
Years later I came across a Berkeley that had ended up in a pond, I was a bit older but NOT wiser so I brought it and started to restore it. So here are a few pic's of it's restoration.
