Britain's best-known three-wheeler, launched in 1973 with a fibreglass body styled by Ogle Design. It was light enough to be driven on a motorcycle licence in Britain, which gave cheap motoring to people without a full car licence. Its reputation for tipping over owes more to television comedy than to the car.
