Yes indeed, and here's the story of the Mercury's restoration.

Did it escape from a fair ground and used to be fitted with a tall pole at the back with which it picked up electricity?

Not a Dale or an EV1. I'm stumped.

It says on the front....
Cursor: http://www.themiamiautomuseum.com/1985- ... -c-312.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
"Factory built in Britain, the Cursor was designed to allow sixteen year olds to drive a car type vehicle on the UK roads, with only a moped license. A full year before they could legally drive a car. The car was made between 1985-87 and over 100 were built. The body was constructed out of fiberglass, and the chassis was tubular steel. The car has 3 wheels. One at the back and two at the front. The vehicle is propelled via the rear wheel and the handbrake operates only on this wheel. The tricycle has a design speed of 40KMH (26MPH), but can hit 40MPH with a (strong!) back wind. Fuel consumption is in the region of 90MPG. In 1985, the car cost £2200. A normal moped cost around £1000. The car had a useful life of one year only, as the driver could drive a full size car the moment that their age hit 17 years. Most people had more sense than to throw away their hard-earned cash on something that would be useful for only a few short months. Hence the short production life. A two seat version was also produced. Production is thought to have achieved only single figures. "

I think it is either a Messerbug or a Bondschmit

The opposite applies to today's youth - they CANNOT drive a 3-wheeler on a car licence. For the last two years new car driving licences don't cover any form of 3-wheeler as you need a motorbike licence and have to be over 21 to drive something with a decent sized engine. This means none of today's youth will be able to drive a Robin or a Morgan three-wheeler unless they pass their full motorbike tests!
