Didn't the last six Trislanders come to Australia in kit form, and were going to be assembled at Port Macquarie sometime in the early 1990's?
I think you are correct, 6 not 12 and I heard they were at Port Macquarie some years ago. Someone had the idea to fit two alumium V8 engines?

Weren't the Islanders and Trislanders built in Romania under licence at one stage?
Islanders were built in the UK, Romania and Philippines. (I'm sure the BAC111 was also built in Romania as the ROM-BAC111). The Trislander - a million rivets vibrating in unison - was only built in the UK.
