Invalid carriages.
And Bond three wheelers.
I remember getting a regular lift to work in a Bond in the sixties. Funny little thing it was. Did the job though.

Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

And the two Mk.I Jags I had. And the Mini Cooper. And the 3.0 Capri Ghia. Even my three Opel Manta GTE's would fetch a bob or two now.

The Latin teacher at my old prep school used to run around in one of those. He was Spanish, so we rather unkindly referred to it as the "Dagomobile". This was years before political correctness!Invalid carriages.
