Cool Valiant three wheeler

Hi there,
Has anyone got a good site or picture of the funnylooking british threewheeler that I think is a type of Valiant. You know the one they drive in mr Bean that allways tip over.
Picture or link requested.
Thanks/

It is now discontinued. It could get up to 100mpg, or so the infamous 'they' claimed. They were also cheap, well under 10000 pounds (15000 american).

My Grandpa had a BMW Isetta 3 wheeler (1 of approx 1100 made). The single rear was at the back, with the engine. He used to get him, his wife, his 6ft + friend, and my infant mother into it, and go for Picnics. He wanted one now, but I showed him the bill ($12000, not in terrific shape, either), and he decided, that while good, they are not THAT good.

This is the car that features in the comedy 'Only fools and horses', one of the funniest BBC comedies ever made... has no one in america ever seen it? Surely it has been on BBC world service?

Oh my, that's quite funny! I though people stopped drive 3 wheelers in the 50s!
