Pembleton T24 - So left of the field, i'm in the hedge
Discussion
Got to say, that's pretty cool looking! Not my cup of tea normally but I'm a fan, helps that they have some great photos.
Seems reasonably priced too but guess options list is where you can soon ramp up that £35k price to look like the one in the pictures - although doesn't seem excessive.

Pembleton T24 - Google it !
I'm really interested in adding one to the toy cupboard.
Does anyone know anything about them?
Is there anything similar that anyone knows of?
Thanks in advance.

I don't think there are any other similar 4 wheelers, but similar Guzzi powered three wheelers are available -in fact Pembleton do one. All the Pembletons are front wheel drive with the engine hung out ahead of a Citroen 2CV transmission, so understeer is the name of the game. If you want RWD, and don't mind three wheels, you could do the same as me and get a Triking:I'm really interested in adding one to the toy cupboard.

Triking have been going a long time, and IMHO are better developed and engineered than the Pembletons.
A really good reader’s cars thread on a pembleton trike:

Just seen this thread. I bought the first T24 and absolutely love it. The stock Moto Guzzi 750 is rather tame, so we specified the new V85 engine and it is a hoot. It is happiest at around 5000 revs, the steering is direct (although a bit of negative camber would have been welcome), and the suspension is solid but absorbent. The bespoke finish fits well and the seats are good for 300 miles a day without neck or back pain.
There is only so much that one can do with a 2cv box (albeit tweaked with rose joints etc for smoothness and speed) but I would think that 7 secs to 62 is about right and at 75 it feels like 120. Not as much low-end torque as on my Morgan Three Wheeler and less instant grip on down changes, but just as much fun.

Hi ArchieFergus
I'd love to know how you're getting on with your T24 now you've had it a while?

Mine was the first T24 sold. I think that at least six are now on the roads and Pembleton has a pretty healthy order book. It is a great cyclecar.
