> three or four wheels are perfect

Presumably, not like the three-wheeled Robin Reliant car that launched in the UK in the 1970s :-)

To be pedantic it's a Reliant Robin (Reliant being the brand).

They actually are pretty stable vehicles, contrary to their reputation. For that clip you linked to it's like everything in Top Gear - staged for TV[0].

They are if you (like the Morgan) put the two wheels at the front.

These days, I believe all auto manufacturers that make three wheel cars (peugeot, etc.) .. make them with two wheels in the front.

I believe the majority of three wheel motorcycles are also made this way now as well.

Mr Bean drove a Mini - he famously drove it from an arm chair on top in one episode. Are you thinking of the Trotter brothers?
