Whitwood Monocar (1934)

Introduced in 1934, and with the same mechanicals as the OEC Atlanta Duo, including the duplex steering, this machine had a geared steering wheel, two doors, and outrigger wheels. After discussions with the Ministry of Transport regarding the taxation class of machines like this, which actually have four wheels, two of which are part-time stabilisers, it was ruled to be a motorcycle. Note also that the traditional solution to two seats on an FF - the driver reclining in the passenger's lap - may be older than we thought!
