Brothers reunited with mum's mobility Invacar

Jonathan and Richard said the car looked as if it had been in a time capsule

Two brothers have been reunited with their mum's mobility car after almost 20 years.

The three-wheeled blue Invacar belonged to Marion Webb and was part of the Webb family for more than 20 years before it was taken away from their house.

Richard and Jonathan Webb, from north Devon, said they were pleased to see the car displayed in Coventry Transport Museum and saved from a scrapyard.

"The trike was a really important aspect of our lives and knowing that it is our mum's car is really special," Jonathan said.

Invacars were three wheeled cars designed to help people with disabilities travel

Invacars were issued by the Ministry of Health from just after World War Two until 1981.

The vehicles were designed for people with disabilities and featured a bar instead of a steering wheel.

The brothers said the car looked exactly the same, as if it had been in a time capsule.

Their mother's model featured a fire extinguisher, accelerator and a clock on the dashboard.

Jonathan Webb said the three-wheeler was the reason that his parents met in Hyde Park in the 1950s.

"Our parents were both disabled with Polio but with trikes and then later cars, that is how they were able to be independent."

He added that the Invacar gave his mum independence and the ability to travel around.
