Was it intended to be used by disabled people?

Not specifically no.

Neither a Gordon Murray test mule nor a Heron Tripod (which only had three wheels).

This puzzle has now been here for a year.  So, time to put this black car into the Black Hole?

Either that, or offer up a clue.

We've already established that it is British, and based around a Fiat 126.  The only other clue that I can give is that it was destined to be a TV star, but it never really made it to fame and fortune!

It was planned to be the main topic/feature of a TV show, but it is unclear if this TV programme ever got made, or indeed broadcast.

Is it named after its builder or the programme?

Neither named after the builder nor the TV show.  As a clue though, it does share its name with a famous movie!

I like your thinking, but not Serpico (the movie is more famous and popular with families).

Very close, but I now realise that my movie clue was a little misleading (sorry) as the movie name forms most of the name of this car.  So, locked to you Oguerrorob as it is almost Bambi, but with two more letters on the end (i.e. BambiXX).
