Was it made for someone who couldn't sit down and had to drive standing upright ?

I suppose it was the opposite of the AC Spinal Special, which had to be driven in a prone position

I also found this:

Gerard Lundergan: "I used to work with the Invacars back in 1993 when I used to order the spare parts and send them out to places like Tippens and many other garages around the country. I had many happy times driving these about site and the number of models is unbelievable. I have seen the majority of the early models, the black carriages were really weird to look at and had some cracking number plates. The later cars were all catalogued by hand and mainframe computer and we use to have massive metal ledgers full of the part numbers, stock etc. One carriage I remember was about 6ft tall as the person driving it had problems sitting down due to a spinal injury

OK, this one is solved, this car is a special version of the Invacar Model 57, (and one point goes to D-type) made for a man, who was not able to drive sit down (one point to Guido66).
In the 3rd pictures there are the mirrors He uses to see the instruments.
