Yep ;
Little British Car .
There were even TWO Bond tri wheel cars ~ these have the look of a tiny automobile but only two wheels in the back , in front is a 198 C.C. Villiers two stroke Motocycle engine mounted on a pivoting bracket thing that's connected to a steering wheel via a worm gear..
This makes it technically a Motocycle and so co$t$ far less to register . no heater , no radio , no _REVERSE_ .
Of course , it _does_ have a normal looking front sheet metal , two head lights , wildly exaggerated pontoon fenders , grille and bumper , windshield with wipers , two doors etc. just like a ' real ' car .
Google " Reliant " to see the newer and more popular vehicles of this typ .
Someone tried very hard to legally import them new in the 1970's , those I remember quite well , the Califonia DMV said _no_ .
The Bond I liked so much was a 1957 tiny little thing .
