I didn't know there was a separate classification for sidecar outfits on the V5c?

I'm not 100% sure, but I don't think there was a separate classification - a lot has changed in 40-odd years. From that magazine article above (and various retold anecdotes) it was registered as a "MOTORCYCLE" on the docs back then. Helmet rules apply to motorcycle and not tricycles.

 

Anyway, from what I gather now, they are now "TRICYCLES" and thus no one aboard needs to wear a lid.

 

Some things just automagically change too. I had two Austin Maxis which prior to being sent away for a keeper change had "5DR SALOON" on the docs and returned with "5DR HATCHBACK" and I never asked them to do that.

i got to abuse one of these as a company car for a whole weekend once, when i was a nipper (ok i was 23) but i loved every minute of it.

 

and yes i know that they are apparently crap.

 

that is why i think i liked it so much.
