Didn't expect one of these to pop up - Berkeley B95 or B105 - apparently identical except for whichever Royal Enfield engine (Meteor or Constellation respectively). ORC 914 was Derby, April-June 59, soon after March 59 launch.

There's one out there somewhere running a Kawasaki Z900 motor, gotta be interesting with 82bhp instead of the original 36 of the B105.

Pinto has sporty wheels, dark blue stripes on sides and bonnet, small black front spoiler and wipers - a boyracer edition?? Worth a page (though can't get usefully better captures)??

The Pinto doesn't seem to match anything in the brochures, but that doesn't mean it's not a regional special model.

The first time I saw a Berkeley in person I couldn't believe how tiny it was:

The base model 3-wheeler had a 328cc engine. You can’t pull much car about with that.

Can it outrun a rickshaw?

^ That could be a Top Gear Challenge for the next series.

Do you mean a man-powered rickshaw or a tuk-tuk?
