Stingeroo is a chopper trike made from 1973 to 1976.The frame is always metallic purple and the engine and exhaust pipes are plated. There is also a white plastic horses head stuck on the top of the seat which must have given the rider a real crick in the neck. Early releases had pale mauve forks, later this was changed to light blue. They are also seen with silver or gold plated forks.

The early mauve forks versions are commonly found and are of low value, pale blue forks are harder to find and get a decent premium. Plated forks are very rare and consequently get very good prices indeed.
