A THREE-WHEELER pizza delivery motor kitted out with cutting edge tech launched into the mainstream in the mid 1980s.
The Tritan A2, which resembles a spaceship, came complete with warming ovens in the back seat to make sure the pie wasn’t stone cold on arrival.
The intriguing motor features a 440cc Rotary engine as well as Dominos signature red, white and blue colours on the vehicle’s body.
It also boasts a sleek “aerodynamic body with a purported 0.15 drag coefficient”.
An arch on the back of the car allows the Tritan to get up to 80 miles to the gallon.
To enter the vehicle, the driver must slide forward the motor’s canopy.
The futuristic delivery car has been put up for auction in Las Vegas.
However, the A2 is not without its flaws.
In an interview with CNN Business, the car’s current owner Chuck Sinnott said that despite being “a crowd pleaser,” the A2 has poor visibility and is susceptible to potholes because it is so low to the ground.
The car was created by the pizza chain’s founder Tom Monaghan in 1985.
Monaghan ordered 10 of the vehicles back in mid 80s to create a “economical delivery vehicle” of the future, according to Mecum Auctions.
It’s not the first time Dominos has experimented with a range of pizza-delivery vehicles.
Recently, the popular chain has introduced modified electric cars and fully autonomous pizza delivery machines to boost efficiency.
The auction for the Tritan A2 ends on December 13.
It comes after an Aston Martin that was found rusting in a garage after 54 years is now tipped to sell for a huge sum.
The super-rare classic is currently little more than a jumble of parts alongside a chassis but has been identified as a goldmine for collectors.
The clapped-out motor is actually a DB2/4 MkII model, one of just 199 ever made.
Elsewhere, the iconic number plate used by a James Bond villain is set to sell for more than £300,000.
The licence plate, used by one of 007’s arch nemeses, is being marketed by Primo Registrations.
Bearing the registration AU 1, it adorned the gold-plated Rolls-Royce Phantom III driven by Auric Goldfinger in the 1964 blockbuster that bears his name.
