Harper-Runabout-1922-Tradesman-Oly-p760.jpg
Tradesman's model of the unique Harper Runabout, which has remarkable capabilities.


"Although the Harper runabout has been primarily designed as a tender to a car and for general knock-about purposes, its showing in the Scottish Six Days Trials was such as to cause those who witnessed it to respect it as a workmanlike mountain-climbing touring vehicle with quite an extraordinary turn of speed. A 269 c.c. proprietary two-stroke engine is fitted, the cylinder of which has been re-designed by the makers of the three-wheeler. Three separate chains provide three direct speeds. Detachable and interchangeable wheels are used. Various constructional improvements have been made for 1923.
