Curtis -
Somebody's confused (maybe me). The only "Avengers" program I know of had
lead characters of John Steed (Patrick somebodyorother in tweed and a
bowler) and Emma Peel (Diana Rigg in a black catsuit, oooh). Two British
spys who participated in a sort of "Mission Impossible" arrangement, but
with far more class.
Steed's steed was a Bentley. Emma peeled out in an E-type Jag (I think,
she wasn't shown driving that often). Her husband (a Vietnam MIA, seen
only briefly in the final episode in which the Emma Peel character
appeared), drove a TD. Emma's character was replaced by Tara King, who was
played by a typical 70's British blonde.
I don't recall ever seeing a 3 wheeler in the show, tandem seated or
otherwise
