Whoops. Tamworth is in the midlands, not the north. Sorry about that. That little mistake probably had several Reliant fans rolling over with anger

This remains one of the finest car channels on KZfaq. Only Harry's Garage is better.

Midengine, rear wheel drive, Fiberglass body, made in England ... basicallly a McLaren!

Not only is Robert driving a suspiciously imported Robin in the US, he's doing so with "BOLLOCKS" splayed across the front of the car.

This is the most beautiful car I've ever seen

Thank you to whomever named a car after me!

It can’t get any more British than “bollocks” written on the licence plate 😂

You should also look up the Reliant Kitten, which is the Robin, but with an extra wheel. I had one for a while. It was terrible. You'd love it.

That mystery switch is a low brake fluid warning lamp. The switch is just to test that the lamp is OK. Cheers from the UK.

My stepdad only had a motorcycle license when my little brother was born in the early 90s. This led to us having several Reliant Robins as our family car for most of my childhood.

"I bought a Reliant Robin"

I will never forget being transported in the boot of a Reliant Robin from Whitby to Middlesbrough during a storm. This is in the UK and the reason we were being transported is because there was a terrible storm which stopped the trains running due to flooding so a friend's dad came to collect us.

The delivery on "This is the rear wiper. It works exceedingly well." was amazing.

"I have bought a Reliant Robin"

Looks like a fun toy. Now a joke you've probably heard:

The standard way to improve stability was always to keep a heavy toolbox in the passenger footwell to help balance the car

In 1999, I was driving North from Liverpool. The motorway was fairly empty at the time and I was sitting at 60 / 70 mph. I could hear this metallic buzzing coming from behind me. The sound went on for a few minutes it seemed, then, with amazement I realised I was being overtaken by a Robin. As it passed me, I looked into the car and saw at least three huge burly men in it. We were able to stare at each other for about a minute before it crawled ahead of me.
