Reliant Robin

Why would I want to post a blog on a three wheeled car,is it a car,or is it a motor bike? For sure its origins start as a three wheeled motor bike,as the front wheel and suspension was just pure motor bike,with the driver/rider sitting inside an enclosed cabin.

Seen here at the local shops and opposite Maghulls Meadows Hotel,the driver told me he gets about 48mpg,thats not bad,the motor may be the Reliant 748cc all alloy unit,its in the front,which leaves a huge amount of space for two and rear lugage.

The body is all GRP so is rust free,check the large loading rear door,what a gem to park and collect the shopping with.

A carfull owner,not too sure as the car has signs of a bump on the other side and I note some overspray on the drivers door.Insurance wise though,the Reliant Robin drivers return some of the lowest in claims each year.Can you believe its as low as 0.9 % a year with over 1100 similar cars being insured.
