And this little girl i have at four hundred card tester kristoff power definitely turns heads its the brainchild of a big name in german automotive history caro borg five he designed a three wheel mini van back in one nine hundred twenty for the blitz car and that its bed in front of the driver. And boy cristo says they go i have an f. Four hundred by contrast that is a bed behind the driver following borg guards prince of overload and back howard back i. Had a rear wheel drive it was marketed as a quick delivery van but the vehicle is anything but quick it has an absolute maximum speed of fifty Kilometers Per Hour and it seems like it took it like a lie of when germany small tradesmen on wheels imitators like tempo roll fixed and standard quickly fallen with many vans of their own but none could fix the concepts inherent weaknesses. Christofer explains that the three wheelers biggest problem is that it tends to tip over when turning a curve too fast thirty Kilometers Per Hour was enough to land it on its side heavy loads and back up somewhat also was such a narrow front the driver could easily misjudge the width of the rear and end up literally stuck in traffic. Not that that. In spite of these minor flaws the motorized tri sickos are still a common sight in the narrow streets or trentino in northern italy. Has carried on the tree we live tradition since one nine hundred forty seven. Its easy to see why three wheel minivans are so popular south of the alps theyre ideal for navigating the narrow alleyways typical of mediterranean old towns and orchards and vineyards with just one horsepower the goliath manages the climb up to paginate castle.

Says the little girl i have ever four hundred could haul up to seven hundred fifty kilograms thats why i called merchants bakers tradesmen. The farmers and many others found it so practical and several variations were available that classy quiet as here and the clothes panel van that could serve as a mobile shop with a hole down shutters or as a livestock area the goa swiftly established itself as the Market Leader in his class. But even with the sensational success of his three wheeler car a bore guard story did not end well. Kristen says ford hard should have heeded the old saying cobbler stick to your trade the three wheelers made up the lions share of his success but he wasnt satisfied to stick with the lowly delivery vans and try to develop luxury sedans and even a helicopter but that cost money and eventually he didnt have enough to keep up production of his best seller land in one nine hundred sixty one the braman senate refused to vouch for a loan he urgently needed he filed for bankruptcy and that was the end of our gardening and i think a life that was a. Long long lived. Around twenty thousand born fired employees lost their jobs in one of the largest bankruptcy in german automotive history whats left is car of war guards legacy and nearly every corner of the world. So tightly they get through stuff explains that even if three wheel minivans like they go i have have sense fannys from germany they can still be found abroad the thousands and thousands of took took all across asia for example or they are paid and italy still in production today he says none of them would exist without the goliath that was the first truly reliable and low price vehicle for german tradesmen and in a sense the ancestor of the v.
