very interesting photo, where did it come from?
the Mr Bean car is a Reliant Robin, Reliant built many good cars including the Scimitar, the Robin was not built for disabled people, most of the English 3 wheelers were built for taking advantage of taxation structure. AC built most of the vehicles for disabled people, the original idea being to provide transport for war veteran amputees.

The three wheeler is a tax saver. probably Swiss built. Several coachbuilt beetles were three wheeler tax savers. I've seen this one a number of times... quite different to the rest with a small air-cooled engine in the front driving the single rear wheel that was located in original engine bay.

Gotta love those tiny toy wheels on the front!

The Reliant Robin - I hate it when ppl call it a Robin Reliant you wouldn't say a "Falcon Ford". Anyway...

Being a 3 wheeler it is classed as a motorcycle as far as Tax AND a big selling point is that you can drive it on a motorcyle license .
