In that ride, with that outfit? He's obviously smoking Gentleman Caller.
Cheers,

I have, unfortunately. }:) My bet is he's smoking some fast-burning asbestos-tongue-cover thin. 115% finely shredded VA in a small bowl. You can finish the whole thing in 5 minutes at 60 mph!

I've never seen that style of hat worn that way.
Really? Because that's pretty standard when you're wearing a three-piece suit, smoking a pipe and driving a three-wheeled mini-car, at least from my experience.

Unfortunately he's not allowed to smoke in his work vehicles:

If you like dry British humor, you MUST watch this mockumentary about a 3-wheel car design.

Its not a British plate as it would start with three letters especially if it was from the 1960s. That has to be some crazy German or Swede. I actually own a tweed three piece suit similar to the one he is wearing. I had a friend who was into the old three wheeled Morgans who smoked a pipe while driving about. I wonder what the car make is? Any ideas?

Definately a Brütsch Mopetta. The same car appears in this link Brutsch Mopetta
It's a German microcar; apparently 14 were built in the 1950's and 5 are know to survive.
Oh, and that is a British registration plate on the car in the OP; it comes up in the DVLA registration search.
From 1932-1963 the number plate scheme was ABC123 but they ran out of numbers so started to reverse them (123ABC).
