Berkeley Cars Ltd produced small sports cars between 1956 and 1960 in Biggleswade, Bedfordshire, England. All of their cars had a body shell made from GRP (Glass reinforced plastic) for light weight, and used motorcycle derived engines of various types driving the front wheels.
Although most Berkeley cars had 4 wheels, the 1959 T60 was a 3-wheeler which could be driven on a motorcycle licence, and incurred lower rates of purchase tax and road tax. At its launch the T60 cost £400.
The T60 used the 18bhp 328cc twin cylinder air cooled 2-stroke Excelsior Talisman motorcycle engine, driving the front wheels via a 4-speed (and reverse) gearbox.
"The Berkeley automobile was produced from October 1956 to December 1960 in Biggleswade, Bedfordshire, England. The constuction is of fiberglass which makes for very light vehicle with a total weight of around 700+ pounds on average. Engines are of the motorcycle type, chain driven to an open differential, front wheel drive. "

At this point the State authorities moved in and, overriding the opposition of the University Administration, decided singlehanded to send a strong contingent og State and Countyy policemen on the Campus to stop what they described as a near-riot started by communist-sympatizing protesters. Policement sealed part of the Berkeley Campus denying access to students and faculty alike. But there was no violence yet. Here we were on Sather Gate.

Bancroft and Telegraph. Berkeley, California. (Tilt-shifting method.) My favorites here are the yellow newsstand (right) and the bus with turquoise display (center-left).
A new food hall (think linear food court, or tiny and chichi public market), with ten small foodie businesses, opened recently a few doors from Chez Panisse in Berkeley's Gourmet Ghetto. Most offer takeout from this short passage. I like how the undulating ceiling draws the eye back.
