Weijman’s Homemade 400cc 1954

This homemade three-wheeler was built by Jo Weijman from
Haarlem, Holland. It was powered by a 400cc Ilo engine from a prewar
Tempo. Weijman was employed by a Ford dealer in Amsterdam, so he used
mainly Ford parts. The car was not very stable and moreover Weijman had
no drivers licence. Soon he sold the car (plate XG-81-18) for a
motorcycle and sewing machine. Note: The steering wheel was really
striking navy blue.

In 1936 Tempo-werke responded to a Landwehr (army) contract for a four
wheel drive light utility vehicle and their response was uniquely
unorthodox. The G1200 was powered by two 600cc JLO two-stroke motors,
one in the front and one in the rear. Each engine separately drove the
front and rear independently suspended axles in much the same
arrangement as Tatra used in their trucks.
