He mentions them in the article. Part of his 70s nostalgia thing, but stressing that he does not want a return to them.

Even Little Dick himself seems to admit that the Motability scheme is helping to keep a lot of car dealerships going which seems a good a reason of any to keep the scheme going. In the past I've bought a couple of cars that have previously been used by the people on the Motability scheme and both cards proved to be real bargains. They were both two years old yet only had about 10,000 miles on the clock which would suggest that they had only been used for essential journeys.

The key thing with the scheme is that the cars are leased, the people who drive them never actually own them. The money from the benefit agency just covers the leasing fee.
