An interesting period trike. Based on a Higgins rear axle I believe. 22" frame size. A useful size for a number of riders. Superb lug-work built onto classical Reynolds 531 tubing.. I believe the saddle was once a bright orange Unica Nitor which has faded over the intervening decades. The trike could be easily modernised if so desired. Or just enjoy it as a vintage trike. One more interesting point is at the inner end of the right side axle. It may just be the gear hanger. I'm sure somebody will recognise this device.
It seems Hill was working from just post war onwards. The seller states 1980s.

The action ended without having reached the (unknown) reserve price.
I thought I saw 2 bids to £400 but they disappeared again.
