AC three wheeler, 1950, motorcycle powered, like James Handyvan / AC Petite, Fucking hell! thats one hell of a find! thats an AC All Weather Invalid Tricycle, AC's first Invalid vehicle, here is an excerpt about them from my service manual that I have for one its an incrediably rare find, AC produced just 3000 for the Ministry, and up until about 20 years ago it was thought entirely extinct, until one in a complete but poor state was found, that one ended up being bought by Ian Hellings and is now in America, and until just now when this OPD903 showed up, it was thought to be the *sole survivour* so yeah thats why im low key freaking out right now! its probably the rarest of any AC out there (ones that were not an explicit one off anyhow) certainly rarer then any Thames Ditton Cobra or the such like! It *really* needs saving preserving, and ideally restoring, and its a rather historically significant machine since it was how AC started out building Invalid vehicles Remspoor, lesapandre, Mrs6C and 5 others 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I first became aware of it from this photo back in around 2020, sadly was unable to get any details on it, so I have always just called it the NHS101 car! it then showed up in an auction On 27/09/2024 at 23:20, LightBulbFun said: On 27/09/2024 at 23:08, Talbot said: Is £2700 absurdly expensive for one of these? I very much hope so. Especially in that condition. sadly not these days, thats about the going rate for one in that sort of condition, if others that have sold are to go by (which is one of the primary reasons why I got REV when I did since I could see the ship sailing right before my eyes and I was not going to let it get away from me, I knew it was get a Model 70 then or never so to speak) that being said this one the the mysterious Orange NHS101 Model 70, supposedly sold at auction today(?) for £680, but the impression im getting from everyone commenting on it, that the Auction was a farce, no one realised it was actually being auctioned and the website was broken/buggy hopefully its gone to a good home and not just a flipper or such! so its nice to see it again! I am worried with how cheaply it sold that someone might do something stupid with it, but hopefully it finds a good home, as you can see in my September 27th picture, it has a chassis plate and all, and I can tell from that, that its a middle to later Invacar Model 70 calebaaront and lesapandre 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll take a lot of time and dedication to save this, won't you basically have to recreate all body panels from scratch? Something I noticed while looking close at the advert is that some bits don't seem to quite match with the All Weather. For example, this one seems to have two headlights: Also, the All Weather seems to have a "boot" accessed by a side door. Assuming the entire bodywork is missing, shouldn't the rear overhang be longer? Rear bumper would be in the wrong place, too. lesapandre 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plasticvandan Posted Sunday at 21:11 Share Posted Sunday at 21:11 Looks to be a modified ac all weather used as a workshop/farm tug or similar. I originally found the other AC on eBay listed in parts,and sent it to Stuart who didn't have internet at the time,then Ian bought it and shipped to the states,not sure wether it got finished but was under restoration. chadders, somewhatfoolish and Christine 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christine Posted Sunday at 21:16 Share Posted Sunday at 21:16 I thought , it'd be funny if Dan pops up and said he has the original bodywork for it ! Buy it Dez ! It'll go to America otherwise ..... chadders 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
