BlyDescriptionThe Bly 3-16 was first created in Burton-on-Trent, Staffs, (UK) in 1956 by Ernest Bly. Most car owners had owned 3-wheelers after the war but the new range of Austins meant that for the first time people were now able to afford 4-wheeled vehicles for family use. The Bly 3-16 was an attempt to capture the success of the Austin range of cars and give them 3-wheeler motoring cost. The first prototype was originally to be based on an Austin 7 but it was thought the vehicle would be too small for a complete family and so the decision was made to base the vehicle on an Austin 16 leaving in tact the 1,600 cc engine.
