If by tandem-seated you mean fore-and-aft like in a fighter plane it was
probably a Messerschmitt (sp?) K-something-or-other. There were some other
three wheelers with this configuration but they are much rarer. I actually
saw one of these on the street in Dublin when I was about 12. I thought it
was the damnedest thing I'd ever seen. Not really an LBC, I think most of
the tiny three-wheelers came from Germany, but there were a few British
makes. Most are side-by-side like a "normal" car. The Isetta (also German)
is, I think, the most common of these. The last issue of Sports and
Classics has a rather unique French three-wheeler in it, BTW.

Hi there fellow Spridgeteers....
I have some friends in California who are LBC challenged and want to
know what kind of car the Avengers British TV series had it's stars
drive around in. The only information they were able to give me was
that it was a small tandem seated three-wheeler.
Anyone know what kind of LBC "The Avengers" drove?
