Video of the Day: Restoring and racing a cyclecar

Early cyclecars were powered by motorcycle engines

-

Cyclecars were early motor vehicle built by placing a motorcycle engine in a 3- or 4-wheeled chassis. They usually were small, with room for 2 people, and rode on narrow “bicycle” style wheels.

The Video of the Day shows the restoration of a 1922 Bignan AL Sport model by its new French owner (with English subtitles). The “car” wasn’t running when purchased, but it was restored and the video even shows it taking part in a race at the famed Monthlery racing circuit.
