A sort of strange military half track thing was its original outing...

Yes you're right.
Mebbe it was the Coventry Climax engine which started off pumping water to put out fires?

 

[Drago]

Yup!

I think this is a Honda, but may be wrong. This is ideal - how many of us ravage the worlds resources in order that we can drive solo in over a ton of metal?

It was fitted with a Moto Guzzi air cooled V twin.
Ideal because it was configured to mount across the bike frame, making it easy for shaft drive.
I believe the origins of that engine was for powering a fire pump.

Now I remember why I liked it so much.....
Moto Guzzi V twin Yum

Oh, so HGV's cannot see small sports cars or motorbikes as well as they are similar sized to a velomobile.
It must be SO dangerous to use a small sports cars or motorbike on the road then ..........

The C5 was much lower, about the same height as a velomobile.
