While visiting Kip Motors in Dallas a couple of weeks ago I fell in love with
the very rough but restorable 1958 Berkeley that he ahd out front. After
you've had about six beers, this thing looks like a miniature 289 Cobra. It is
bike powered and front wheel drive and will just about fit in the trunk of my
TR3.
Anybody know anything about these cars, or have a spare bike engine lying
around. I was thinking of upping the power a bit from the original 2 cyl, 2
cycle
Excelsior engine that came with it. I don't think I will race it. I am crazy
enough to race a TR3, but not a Berkeley.

Didn't someone on the Triumphs list mention some association with a Berkeley a
while back, and have a few pictures? Phil
Ethier? Was it you? Someone?
Cheers.
