I anyone familiar with the Heeler build by Tripteq in theNetherlands? A nice looking rig, it reminds me somewhat of the old Vetter Terraplanes.

It sure does look like a Vetter Terraplane. I wonder if he somehow got the molds...or maybe it was reverse-engineered. It was actually a nice-looking configuration. They were very easy for the passenger to get in, as well.

It has some of the details on Craig Vetters original Terraplane, the one that didn't see production; notably, the foot well is cantilevered out over the frame (the TPII featured the wrap-around frame).

I liked the luggage rack and spare tire mount. The blue "shape" was an auxilliary fuel tank.

I have an email into Tripteq to see if they have a US dealer. The closest is Germany...
