STORY

The Lomax 224 is no ordinary car – it's a handcrafted collector's car that combines the charm of a British roadster with French engineering. Originally developed in Great Britain in the 1980s as a kit car, the Lomax is based on the Citroën 2CV. Its lightweight construction, open-top design, and striking three-wheel appearance make it a real eye-catcher.

The designation "224" stands for two seats, two front wheels, and a total of four wheels – a variant that offers greater driving stability than the purebred three-wheel version. In Germany, the Lomax was professionally built by only a few workshops. One of the best known is Hamann Karosseriebau & Lackierung, which specializes in custom conversions. They produced a number of particularly high-quality examples, with tailor-made details and TÜV-compliant finishes.

A Lomax is more than a car—it's a drivable piece of nostalgia. Those who drive one experience a stripped-down, immediate driving experience that recalls the origins of the automobile. Today, it's a rare collector's item and an expression of true individuality.

PERSONAL STORY

The exact number of Lomax 224s built is not documented, as many were handcrafted or built as kits. A total of several hundred examples are likely to have been produced worldwide. Today, they are rare. Anyone who drives a Lomax 224 owns a truly unique vehicle with collector value and character.

The driving experience in the Lomax is pure and direct – almost like riding a motorcycle, but with the comfort of a vehicle – a real attitude to life that turns every ride into a little adventure.
