A bubble car with si x wheels!!

Hi Tony.
Thought you might like to see a BMW Cabin car of 1958 which I used to have;(allas it is no more) which having blown up the orriginal 600cc boxer engine, I decided to put in a BMC mini 850cc engine and front sub frame, in the back, behind the originl rear wheels, thus making a six wheeler! It handled well and realy stuck to the road, and could stop like no other car I have driven. The biggest problem to solve was the gear change mechanism.
Incidentally I bought the car for £6 in 1968. Think what it would be worth if orriginal now?
Hope this is of interest,
Yours, a wacky driver, Henry Shaw.
