Hey John,

Okay, I like a challenge …

1. Lamborghini 350GT – some were made with a rear center seat. I would guess you’d stick your feet up on the dash.

2. Matra Bagheera and Murena, as mentioned – extreme LHD, but still 3 seats

3. Fiat Multipla – a utility van with 6 seats, but still 3 buckets in 2 rows. Neat!

4 Ferrari 365P – a design study, they built three, one sold in America, one to Gianni Agnelli, one unaccounted for. Looked like a giant Dino.

5 Hyundai HCD I or HCD II – concept I saw at the San Diego Auto Show around 1990, two front seats and one in back, not centered but off to one side, facing the other side – i.e. rear passenger sat sideways.

6. Mohs safarikar – crazy-ass Bruce Baldwin Mohs built these in the 1970s. Three bucket seats in two rows each, another Multipla, built on an International Travel-All chassis, padded vinyl body (NO JOKE!) to keep things quiet as you went on safari in, I guess, Africa – yes, he was serious. The doors glided out sideways, I mean perpendicular to the body of the car, very strange and cool. Not center-drive, darn the luck.

7. Bizzarrini Manta – show car by Giugiaro, about 1968, and I think it did have center-drive. Really pretty.

Okay, there you go. Sweet dreams.

Bob

Not as wild as the F1 (thanks, didn't know that one), but still three-seaters: Matra Bagheera and its successor Matra Murena Regards, Karel

I forgot to mention .. I’d take two of the three seats out, because all I’d want to listen to is the engine, lol

I am sure with some japanese pusher it’s possible to squeeze 9 or 10 people in it ;-)

John: just like we discussed, that McLaren is all you.

RHB: I’m pretty sure I know what you aren’t going to do with a million dollars.

As far as a three seat sports car, I think that the sexy image of high end sports machines and fitting three seats is probably a mutually exclusive proposition. You know: “Two’s company and three is a crowd”
One extra seat for mom or the kid just doesn’t seem right.

Great article...I love cars! Remember when they made the Bugatti Veyron convept? They said they would never make it because it costs over £1M to build and they would make a loss on every model. Well that changed and it's now in production so I think if there's a great enough demand, the manufacturer will make it.
