Hi Roger
It's still around somewhere.
It was restored a little while ago.
It had twin rear wheels close together,.legal for roads but not strictly a three wheeler, so I'm guessing that's what got it stopped.
I built the first 'ABC' in 1967 aged 15 inspired by Owen Greenwoods outfit.
I still own my original TFD 47G and intend to restore it eventually with it's original engine.
Then my father Bill Powell went on to build 24 more ABC trikes, most of which still survive.
His company was Auto Body Craft along with his partner Ken Heather based in Kingswinford on the Pensnett trading estate.
