Thanks for that link...
When I saw the pictures of this 1914 Dudley Bug it took my breath away. "Be still, my beating heart!"
What a little sweetheart that is, made in the U.S.A. from 1913 through 1915.

Ade Ward is a really nice guy; - he used to work for various racing teams in Britian, but now seems to enjoy spending his time building accurate replicas of vintage cyclecars. That little Chater-Lea cyclecar is an absolute beauty, but he had to sell it to fund his latest project which is to build an accurate copy of a Brooklands record breaker known as the 'Jappic'.
I'm sorry I don't know any details about this photo, but it certainly is a cool little vehicle.

That is interesting. Looks maybe home made. The little boy as passenger looks like he has the engine for a foot rest. And that is a jump seat in back? I always wanted to ride in one of those for some reason I now can't remember. I don't think I could get in or out of one anymore. Too late...
Can't tell for sure, but it looks like instead of a steering wheel he is using a tiller deal or handlebars... look's like a brake or clutch lever is visible.Pretty neat, though!

The Ilo trike appears to have a nice big starting handle. Above and behind that is the probable brake for the l/h wheel, doubling as a hand brake. The badge on the side implies a brand name like Fuchs or Fox or Wolf.
The family could be German, but there is no guarantee of that. The style with the forks out front, and the fact of an Ilo engine tend to tie it to the German sphere though.
I wonder if they're Nazis in Paraguay?

It does look a bit like a frog... I like it a lot! It looks well made, solid, practical and has terrific visibility and doesn't really look home made. Looks factory and also looks like something that should be manufactured today.

The Grataloup may well have had a Villiers, but your informant, Barelyawake (or may I call you Bare?), was incorrect in saying it came from a BSA. BSA never used Villiers, and immediately after WW2, joined in the global piracy of the DKW125 engine to create the Bantam.
Off the top of my head, BSA, HD, Yamaha, Mi-Val (Italy) SHL, WSK(Poland), IZH, Fujitsubo (no, I don't know anything about them), as well as the East and West Germans continuing their own legitimate production.
Grataloup sounds like some sort of shredded melon to me. I just thought I'd mention that.
