It's been on the road since I was twelve, I absolutely love this thing!

40 year old design more cohesive and safer looking than the current Aptera model.

Oh! It’s ugly. It’s stupid. It’s beautiful. I love it.

I've wanted one of these since I first saw it in Popular Mechanics way back a million years ago. I'm glad to see someone still has one that runs. Only one problem making one now. It needs a front end from a VW Bug, and I wouldn't wreck a $20,000 car just to make something nowadays.

There’s plenty of derelict sand rails and dune buggies around for cheap to raid for a VW front end. I always loved how the Tri-Magnum was built like shaping a surfboard.

Oh hey a Tri-Magnum! Found one of those for sale here in Richmond about 5 years ago. Strange but cool machine!

Very interesting, I wonder if he ever did the open top.

I've never seen one like it! How fast is it? Are you Australian?

The last pic shows the license plate: I believe it's registered in Arizona as a motorcycle.
