Where can I buy a 500cc automatic microcar in the UK?

Can you still drive a 3-wheeler on provisional licence, as was rumoured long ago? I want to get a cheap secondhand microcar or even a 3-wheeler for my partner. Ideally we'd get her a scooter but she had a stroke in her early twenties and although she has recovered, she’s left with a bionic grip in her left hand and no sense of balance on scooters, push bikes etc. Any ideas?

You could never drive a 3-wheeler on a provisional licence. I had direct experience of this.
