Re: Leboncoin/eBay finds
Only one I've ever seen with a Citroen engine, probably a one off. Think they originally had some scooter engine or something, and then later ones used a complete mini front subframe.

Re: Leboncoin/eBay finds
Wow! I've always wanted a Berkeley! The original engine would have been a 325cc Excelsior two stroke twin, so a 2CV engine is probably quite an upgrade!

Re: Leboncoin/eBay finds
I'd doubt that this one has ever run, considering the lack of engine cowling, plus it's got a rather 'home-brewed' chassis holding things together, so should be fun for the lucky person winning the auction. Edit. If you can trust Wiki on the subject of Berkeleys... " Replicas. In the 1980s a new company was formed in Syston, Leicestershire, to restore Berkeley cars. By 1991 it was using the original moulds to make new body panels and in 1993 complete T60 cars were being made with a new ladder type chassis. A choice of engines was available, including Mini, Citroen 2CV and motorcycle units."

Did the designer drop dead half way through the design process.... about the point where he'd done the front doors?
