Invicta Forecar

Description

A 1905 Invicta Forecar

One of the most ephemeral vehicles of the early period of motoring was the forecar or tricar. Mid-way between a tricycle and a car, half a motor cycle with a seat bolted on, they fell completely out of use and became almost extinct. Some, like this one, were substantial and well-made, steering-wheel versions, others just fixed a seat in place of a two-wheeler’s front forks. Although many makers are well-known, a majority, like the Invicta, still call for research. Found at the Old Rectory at Walton on the Wolds, Leicestershire, in 1954, it is thought to have belonged to the local vicar, one Montague Bird, who died in 1942. Luckily, images still exist of the car, then numbered LC 3433.
