in America you can get a permit at 16 and need to pass a test to get your license, so 16 to 17.
the size of the car is irrelevant.

In general, the minimum ages for driving on British roads is 16 years for invalid carriages and mopeds, 17 years for agricultural or forestry tractors, small vehicles and motorcycles, and 21 years for medium/large sized vehicles, minibuses and buses.
At 16 years old a person can drive a 3-wheeler that is powered by an engine no greater than 50cc. You have to be 17 or over to drive a larger 3-wheeler like the Reliant Robin. (750cc - 850cc). However; A 16 year old enititled to Disability Living Allowance at the higher rate (Mobility Allowance) may drive a Microcar

The smaller the car, the younger you can be. You can drive a very small car at the age of about two. Most of these use your feet as a motor by scrabbling along the floor. When you get bigger, you get a car with pedals that you push around and around and the car will move. Many of these cars have a steering wheel that works. This is the kind of car I have now. When you get even bigger, you can get a car that actually drives on roads like grown-ups. They won't let me have one of these because they say I am a danger to myself and everyone else.

The Fully Qu. Dr., must be over 21 years of age; or must have held a Full Licence for a minimum of two years.
Go steady and good luck.
