3 On The Column Meets Lewis Buchan and the 3 Wheelers (no, not a pop band!)

Send us a text

As a superfan of Mr Bean, you would expect Lewis to be looking to buy a Lime-flower Green Mini but no, Lewis wanted a Blue Reliant Supervan 2.

First came an 81 Robin, with no front wheel, stacked up on bricks, helping to put Lewis on the map as a collector of these fine 3 wheeler cars. As the word got out, the vehicles started coming to him. His fine collection now includes Bonds, Regals, an Albion and an ex-Post Office Scammell Scarab.

We look in to the place in society of these vehicles over the years, their successes and failures, how to drive one properly, how to survive the crash gearbox and Lewis's big bang.

Tommo gives Lewis a nudge towards a prize trophy. We learn how to start a Scarab and why you should always drive it over the cobbles.

Plus a weekend away for 2 in the Zundapp Janus 750 complete with double bed!
