Wow. No one though of that before building one, huh?

The one in Top Gear was loaded with excess weight to make it tip over.

I've seen a few of these. There were 17 of them produced, if I remember correctly. Drivetrain was powered by a Continental inline 4 and there were supposed to be built in Hydraulic cylinders to jack the car up for tire changes.
Kind of a cool novelty, but if you're going to build a 3 wheeled car, the lone wheel should really be in the back.

You'd need fwd then, otherwise you're fucked in just 1cm of snow or mud

The world was not ready for 3 wheels yet.

Yeah, like those Slingshots and such. Much more stable than the old biker trikes.

Reminds me a bit of a Dymaxion with the wheels/ends swapped.

I bet the Stig could get it around the Top Gear track
SchreiberBike@reddit
I knew an old lady who drove a shoe.
