Saccomando

Description

The Saccomando Trike was first constructed in Walkley (UK) in the mid 1980’s by Ed Saccomando.  The Trike, of which only three were ever made, uses an Austin Mini as a donor car and is also powered by the Mini’s 998cc engine. The body is formed using a tubular steel chassis (4" diameter) and with a glass fibre body attached to it. The vehicle also features detachable wings and bonnet. The second Saccomando was built in Sheffield in 1988 and in addition featured twin carbs and a three branch manifold. The third and final one was built in 1992. The Saccomando unlike other trikes of similar design is a four seater with two small seats with lap belts in the back suitable for children.

The first Saccomando is now believed to have been destroyed by a fire and so only two now exist.
