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. "

Berkeley's neighbor is Oakland. the kids from Oakland come to Berkeley and mark up the campus with their graffitti and libertarian propaganda. I love UC Berkeley - the best school ever. hands down.
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.

Cloyne is a student co-op that houses about 150 people. It's a beautiful old redwood building that was once a residential hotel for U.C. Berkeley faculty. I lived in Cloyne for about three years, starting in 1983. Apparently, the house went into a decline shortly after I left Berkeley. A number of students from another co-op had moved in, bringing with them a much more anarchic (and less cooperative) ethic than had previously been common in Cloyne. After hearing stories about how the house had been trashed during this time of factionalization and anarchy, I was worried about what I would see when I came to take this picture in 2003. I was happily surprised to see that the house, and especially the garden, were even more beautiful than when I had lived there.

At this point the governor of California. Ronald Reagan, declared a state of emergency on the city of Berkeley and sent in the State National Guard in full battle gear. Streets were eventually cleared of demonstrations and the soldiers took over the town as an occupied area. Curfew was strictly enforced. In the foreground, a typical Berkeley student coolingly looking at the patrolling of Telegraph Ave. by the National Guard, The general feeling we had was that of beeing caught in a militarily 'occupied' town. Which was exactly what had happened.
