Cyclecars, as they were used to be called, go back to well before the war
But just after the war, everything was in short supply. Cars were considered a rare luxury. Cars were build for export, and the few sold in Britain had an enormous purchase tax levied on them. That, combined with hefty road fund tax and insurance, left even modest cars out of reach of the plebs. Three wheelers however, were classified as motorbikes.
