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 .
