My grand daughter is severely disabled and my daughter has a mobility motor. I was not aware that you have a choice of cars depending how much deposit you can put down. When did the Government introduce the Mobility scheme.
I remember back in the 60s the wee blue 3 wheeled invalid cars.They will be classics now. Havent seen one in years.

Hi
From Wiki
| Quote: | | On 31 March 2003 Invacars were banned from British roads because of safety concerns. The veteran vehicle could not meet modern-day government regulations, which required approval under the Motorcycle Single Vehicle Approval Scheme as part of a standard set by the European Union. There were still around 200 Invacars in Britain before the 2003 recall and scrapping programme. Hundreds of stockpiled Invacars in government warehouses were scrapped along with all their spare parts. A few examples survive in the hands of private owners and museums in Britain and abroad. |
Because they were leased, technically they should ALL have been handed back in, so that is why there are only a few "rogues" left out there and they can't be driven anyway.

Wasn't aware of that. I wondered where they went.

Invacar! That's a blast from the past! I worked for a short while at Invacar back in the dark ages when they built Greeves motorcycles in Thundersley, Essex. Bert Greeves owned the company.
