We used to call them cripplecars. As far as I remember, they had Greeves 2-stroke motorcycle engines of about 200cc. Greeves are better known for building nice little sports two-stroke bikes, but these "invalid carriages" were their bread and butter.
Bert Greeves (or one of his family - I'm not sure which) was confined to a wheelchair, and he actually fitted one of his engines to the wheelchair. It nearly killed the occupant, but the idea was born and a proper prototype soon followed.
The rest, as they say, is history ...

Back in those days we used to call them spaz wags, not very nice when I think of it now but I was very young and ignorant, they done away with them because disabled people have the choice of having a mobility car or other forms of transport, always wanted to have a go in one though.

It was called a Thundersley Invacar and was phased out as everyone says, because they were hopeless.
